CHICKEN CHUPE

Steps:

• Cook the chicken breasts in a big pot with water. Add the corn and salt. Add the green onion, leek, onion, green pepper, and garlic in whole pieces. Let it cook in a medium high until chicken is totally ready. When chicken is cooked, take all the pieces out and cut in cubes. Keep the pot in the heat.
• Take all the vegetables except the corn out of the pot and put them in a colander, put the broth you get back in the pot, discard the rest.
• Now you have a clear broth with the corn pieces, add the chicken back to the pot, add the potatoes, cilantro and the kernel corn.
• When the potatoes are ready, take the cilantro out. Add the heavy cream and the Cheez Whiz, keep stirring until it is dissolved.
• To serve, put some white cheese in the plate, serve the Chupe, and enjoy.

PERUVIAN CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER - CHUPE DE POLLO Y MAíZ

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced red onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add two tablespoon of butter, a pound of bone-in chicken, sliced fresh corn, cilantro, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook covered, on medium heat, 20-30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate. Discard the skin and bones. Chop or shred the meat and return it to the pot. Add one can of sweet corn and the canning liquid. Stir in the cup of milk; simmer for 10 minutes.
• Season the soup with 1/2 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Toss in one cup of corn tortilla chips and stir to combine and soften the chips.
• Using an immersion blender, puree some of the soup to thicken to a chowder consistency (avoiding the fresh corn). Alternatively, ladle some of the soup into a food processor or standard blender, puree it, and return to the pot.
• Serve the chowder topped with some of the remaining chips and cilantro. Sprinkle with feta cheese and hot sauce if desired.
