3 -6 minced garlic cloves
1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded and minced fine (wear rubber gloves when mincing)
1⁄2 chipotle chile, minced fine (as many as you can handle, keep the rubber gloves on to mince these!)
3 -6 tablespoons adobo sauce (but I scrape it out of the can the chipotles were in) (optional)
1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups fat-free half-and-half (or regular half and half, if you can spare the calories!)
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, well-drained (or 3 - 5 fresh roma tomatoes, diced)
2 cups fresh corn (for extra smokiness, roast the corn before adding to the chowder) or 2 cups frozen corn (for extra smokiness, roast the corn before adding to the chowder)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 diced boneless smoked chicken breasts (discard skin and fat, (or more, if you want, We smoke our own, but you can buy smoked chicken breast)
