Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Chowder – Easy Crock Pot Soup

My Slow Cooker Crock Pot Chicken Corn Chowder is one of the best stick-to-your-ribs soups that I make. The best part of this recipe is that everything gets tossed in the slow cooker and the crock pot does all the work. I know many of my readers get nervous when they see a lot of ingredients in a recipe but keep in mind, this is a whole meal in a bowl and I promise — it’s super easy. You can find the full recipe right below the video.

It’s perfect for those busy nights when everyone is on a different schedule and you need to have something hot for dinner that is ready when the kids pop in and out before practice or after school. It’s also great for days when you know you won’t have much time in the kitchen to cook after work.

I usually pop all of this in my crock pot and turn it on low. By the time I get back in the house later that evening it’s soup time and the house smells amazing. I promise you will love this recipe.
