Instructions

Heat large pot over medium heat. Melt butter and saute onions and celery until onions are translucent, 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and green chiles and saute 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, salt and black pepper and bring to boil.
Cover pot with well fitting lid and reduce to simmer. Simmer soup 10-15 minutes and then remove from heat.
Using an immersion blender*, puree soup and return to heat. Stir in carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes (I chopped mine pretty small). Stir in frozen corn and shredded chicken.
Place flour into small bowl and slowly whisk in cream to prevent lumps. Pour this mixture into hot soup and cook until it thickens slightly.
Taste and re-adjust seasonings adding more salt and black pepper, if needed.
Serve hot with any desired toppings.

Notes

*If you don't have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup mixture to a regular blender, being careful to vent well so the hot mixture doesn't explode.
