Directions

I start by placing the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. I add the diced onion, garlic, corn, potatoes, and seasonings on top.

I pour in the chicken broth, making sure everything is mostly covered. I cover and cook on low until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are soft.

Once cooked, I remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the slow cooker. I stir in the cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk, letting everything warm through until smooth and creamy.

I taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, then finish with fresh herbs before serving.

Variations

I sometimes add carrots or celery for extra vegetables. When I want more depth of flavor, I sauté the onion and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker. I also like adding shredded cheese for an even richer soup.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, I warm it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring well to keep the soup creamy. Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken & Corn Soup
