Chicken Corn Chowder

I have a 12-year-old son with cystic fibrosis, who is thankfully very healthy. He doesn't currently have any nutritional issues, but we realize the constant struggle that most people have with getting adequate nutrition. The recipe that this was based on was given to me by a co-worker years ago and has been a favorite for our family. I have made alterations to add flavor and increase the nutritional and calorie intake, as cooking is one of my hobbies. I can always count on my family to give me honest feedback on my cooking, and they love this chowder.
