List of Ingredients
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided

2 medium leeks, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
4 cups chicken broth
2 medium potatoes, cubed

Recipe
In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, saute chicken in 2 tablespoons butter until lightly browned; set aside and keep warm. In the same pan, saute the red pepper in remaining butter until tender. Add the leeks; cook for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and paprika until blended. Gradually stir in the broth. Add the potatoes; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in corn, Worcestershire sauce, salt, hot pepper sauce and reserved chicken; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, for 5-8 minutes or until corn is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in cream and heat through (do not boil).
Yield: 10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
