Creamy slow cooker chicken corn chowder is the perfect set it and forget it crockpot soup to warm you all season long.
It’s been cooling off ever so slightly lately and that little change in temperature, along with a few teeny tiny red leaves on the bushes lining our driveway, is getting me in the Fall mood very quickly. I’ve made two soups in the last four days and I’m not ashamed to say I have another one on the way. I just can’t help myself. When I get in the mood for soup, things get a little out of hand. Looks like this year we’re starting a little early, but I promise I won’t bombard with you soup though, we’ll ease into it. One now, another…. tomorrow. Ha! I’m joshing. I’ll give it a week or so.
This is the Fall dinner of my dreams. Honestly it just doesn’t get much easier than this. Maybe ever. Step one, dump everything into your slow cooker. Step two, shred chicken with two forks. Step three, stir in a few more ingredients. DONE. Dinner is served.
I’m not saying you absolutely have to but I highly recommend serving this soup with a load of French bread on the side. I’d eat a loaf of French bread by itself but have you ever dipped a few morsels into the leftover chowder at the bottom of your bowl?? It’s just a little bit of tasty magic I feel that you really need in your life.

“This recipe has become one of my mainstays! I like to raise the spiciness factor by using a can of chipotles in adobo instead of the green chiles.” – Max

Thank you for sharing. I wish it had more corn and less cream or maybe a roux or cornstarch to thicken it. I added some red pepper for color & texture. It filled my crockpot to overflowing so I’m not sure how I’d squeeze more corn in unless I reduce the liquid.
I’m not sure how this got such a high rating. It’s okay but I cooked on high and low and at 4 hours my potatoes were nowhere near done. I used small potatoes and cut them pretty thin. Less than an inch. I finally had to dump it out of the crock pot and cook it on the stove. It’s much thinner also than I expected. My husband says try it again and I will possibly add some cornstarch to thicken. I know my Crock-Pot is fine because I use it all the time. Another issue I have with it is that I like to make extra so I can freeze some. And this recipe for four servings takes two cans of corn and two cups of heavy cream and four cups of broth. So if I double that, wow. Just disappointing.
I haven’t eaten this yet, but the timing is all wrong. My potatoes are not even close to cooked after an hour on high (I always start on high) plus 3 hours on low. I’m going to have to put it in a pot to finish if we want to eat it tonight
My family loved this soup. My husband, teenage son and 7 year old all had seconds! I didn’t change a thing. I did use heavy cream as directed so it wouldn’t be thinner and we thought the consistency was good. It filled my 6 qt crockpot to the brim so it definitely makes more than 4 servings. Easy and yummy!
Good flavor but way to thin and watery. Cooked it longer than advised to make sure potatoes got soft. Needs a thickener like cornstarch or flour. Kinda disappointed in overall finished soup.
