This is a simple but satisfyingly flavorful chowder that will come together in minutes and be on your table in no time. It is rich and creamy, but thanks to the use of cream style corn, it is surprisingly low in calories and fat! Rotisserie chicken saves time, and you can sneak in diced carrots, or white beans to add more healthy tastiness.
