3. How to Make Delicious Crockpot Chicken Corn Chowder
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Gather all your ingredients and chop the onion, garlic, and potatoes. If you haven’t cooked the chicken yet, you can use leftover rotisserie chicken or cook your own chicken breasts or thighs beforehand.
Step 2: Sauté aromatics
In a skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent. This step enhances the flavor of your hearty soup.
Step 3: Assemble in the crockpot
Transfer the sautéed aromatics to your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker. Add the potatoes, corn, chicken, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients.
Step 4: Cook your soup
Set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking process allows all flavors to meld into a rich and creamy soup.
Step 5: Add cream and finish
Around the last 30 minutes, stir in the heavy cream or coconut cream. Adjust seasoning as needed. This will give your chicken corn chowder its signature creamy texture.
4. Storage Tips for Leftover Chicken Corn Chowder
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove or microwave until steaming hot. For longer storage, you can freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months, making this an excellent make-ahead easy dinner option.
5. Serving Suggestions for This Corn Chowder
Serve your delicious crockpot chicken corn chowder with crusty bread or fresh cornbread for a complete meal. Garnish with chopped parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese. This soup pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded hearty meal.
