Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced potatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and the potatoes are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

02

Step

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked and no longer pink, approximately 7-10 minutes.

03

Step

Pour in the chicken broth (or water) and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the frozen corn and return to a simmer.

04

Step

Season the soup with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir in the milk and chopped mozzarella cheese. Continue to simmer until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to boil.

05

Step

Ladle the Venezuelan Chupe into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, zucchini, or celery to the soup.
If you don't have fresh mozzarella, Monterey Jack or another mild cheese can be substituted.
Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired level of creaminess.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    I found the recipe a little bland. I added a bouillon cube which helped a lot!
