Ingredients:

Protein & Veggies

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
• 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (low-FODMAP portion per serving)
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 2 cups diced potatoes (white or Yukon gold)
• 1 cup green onion tops only, sliced (no white parts)
• Bacon bits (optional)

Soup Base

• 3 cups low-FODMAP chicken broth (no onion or garlic)
• 1 cup lactose-free milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup lactose-free heavy cream or canned coconut milk (light)
• 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

Seasoning

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Tools you will need:

• Large soup pot or Dutch oven
• Cutting board and knife
• Wooden spoon
• Measuring cups and spoons

How to Make It:

1. Cook the chicken
   Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
   
2. Build the soup base
   In the same pot, add carrots and potatoes. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
   
3. Simmer until tender
   Reduce heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. This step builds the cozy chowder texture.
   
4. Make it creamy
   Stir in the lactose-free milk, cream alternative, corn, cooked chicken, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes until warmed through.
   
5. Finish and serve
   Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Top with green onion tops and bacon bits.  Serve warm.
