Slow Cooker Chunky Chicken & Corn Chowder

by The Klutzy Cook

Here is a quick and easy slow cooker recipe that was on Menu Plan #3.  This Chicken & Corn Chowder is really a super chunky soup.  It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and is really easy using the slow cooker.

The recipe comes from Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbookwith just a few tweaks.  I used fresh corn which gave the dish slightly more crunch, but frozen corn works well too.

Recipe adapted from Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled, cut into 5 cm dice
2 cups chicken stock
1 bay leaf
Pinch of paprika
2 cups milk
3 cups corn, fresh or frozen
1 -2 cups cooked chicken, diced

Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and celery for a few minutes.  Place the potato onto the bottom of the slow cooker scrape over the onion and celery mixture.

Add the stock, bay leaf, paprika and season to taste.  Stir the top layer of ingredients ensuring the potatoes stay submerged.  Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours – the potatoes should be tender.

Add the milk, corn and chicken.  Stir well, cover and cook on HIGH for around 1 hour to heat the chowder through.  Remove bay leaf and season to taste.

We’re getting our first cold fall weather tomorrow in Denver, I was looking around for a good soup recipe and voila, found your recipe. Sounds like a perfect (and delicious) dinner for tomorrow evening.
