Slow Cooker Chicken Sweet Corn Soup: Comfort in a Bowl
There’s nothing quite as soothing as a warm bowl of chicken and corn soup — creamy, comforting, and bursting with flavor. This Slow Cooker Chicken Sweet Corn Soup brings together tender chicken, sweet golden corn, aromatic spices, and a velvety broth that feels like a hug in a bowl. Using a slow cooker makes it almost effortless: just toss in the ingredients, let time work its magic, and come back to a deliciously hearty soup ready to enjoy.
Let’s walk through how to make this delicious dish step by step.
🥣 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for richer flavor)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional, for added aroma)
- 1 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper if unavailable)
- Salt, to taste
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water (for thickening)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, optional
🕒 Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Base Ingredients
Start by finely chopping the onion and mincing the garlic and ginger. These aromatics create the flavorful foundation of your soup.
You can also dice the chicken into bite-sized cubes — or leave it whole if you prefer to shred it later (which gives a more rustic texture).
Step 2: Load the Slow Cooker
In your slow cooker, add:
- Chicken pieces (or whole breasts/thighs)
- Chopped onion
- Minced garlic and grated ginger
- Both the creamed corn and the whole kernel corn
- Chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil (if using), salt, and white pepper
Give everything a good stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 3: Let the Magic Happen
Cover the slow cooker and cook on:
- Low for 6–7 hours, or
- High for 3–4 hours
As it cooks, the chicken becomes tender and juicy, and the corn releases its sweetness into the broth, creating a naturally rich and creamy base.
