How to make this chicken and corn soup

My favorite part of this recipe is that most of the soup is made in the crock pot.

I brown both the bacon and the chicken breasts first, but this step is definitely worth it because it adds a lot of extra flavor to the soup. It doesn’t take long to do this, so I brown all my meat first.

I start by cooking the bacon in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Then I it to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. I’ll crumble it later to use as a topping for the soup.

Next, drain most of the fat from the pan. Then and add the chicken to the same pan and cook it.

Can you see why I wanted to brown it first? That lovely caramelization of the chicken adds so much flavor!

Once cooked, I chopped the chicken and added it along with the corn, onions, red potatoes, carrots, garlic and celery. Then I added the low-sodium chicken broth, fresh herbs, pink sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Now the soup is ready to cook all day in my crock pot! I can’t wait to see how the house will smell in a few hours.

About 30 minutes before serving time, I combined the cornstarch and fat-free evaporated milk.

This milk is a great substitute for heavy cream to lighten up the recipe. It adds the thickness and creaminess that I want for the chicken corn soup, but keeps the calories down.

Garnish with some fresh chives for a wonderful light taste of onions on the first bite.

Tasting this crock pot chicken and corn soup recipe

The flavor of this amazing chicken corn soup is something else. Every bite is hearty, creamy, and so comforting with a hint of smokiness.

I served the soup with some of my perfect buttermilk biscuits or a loaf of my favorite Italian herbed bread. If you wish, you can add a sprinkle of the bacon bits too.

I also love to serve this with my slimmed-down chicken cheese panini sandwich if I am serving it for dinner. It’s a hearty meal that won’t break the calorie bank.

We got about 5 inches of snow here in North Carolina over the weekend (a real treat for a Maine-born gal!). I know what will be warming our insides for the next few days!

Weekends like this are those where you just want chicken corn soup comfort food and a Netflix marathon of your favorite show.

I have a feeling that we will be wanting to pull the covers over our heads and only come out to get more soup and see if the snow is still coming down!
