Notes

  • Canned corn can be used; drain before adding.
  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option.
  • Add carrots or celery for extra flavor and texture.
  • For a smoky flavor, add smoked paprika or cooked bacon.
  • Use milk instead of cream for a lighter version.
  • For dairy-free, substitute cream with coconut milk or plant-based alternatives.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze without cream and add it when reheating for best texture.
