Chicken Corn Soup

If you enjoy corn especially creamed corn, then this is a soup for you. Basic ingredients that whip up into a creamy thick soup filled with vegetables make this a hearty meal. With the addition of chicken giving this soup some satisfying protein you will stay full for longer.

Karlynn’s Tip

If you prefer cream corn and more sweetness, then you can add 1 cup whole kernel corn and two tins of creamed corn. Feel free to play around with the amounts of corn to adjust to your liking! That’s the beauty of such an easy recipe like this.

What Kind of Corn Should I Use?

This recipe calls for 2 cups whole kernel corn and 398 ml cream-style corn but you can change this to suit your tastes. There are several kinds of whole kernel corn available like Mexican-style corn medley with corn, red bell peppers, and Chile peppers that would add a nice flavor to this soup! You can also try crisp white canned corn to add a little more crisp texture to this soup.

How To Make This Soup

  1. Combine the onions, celery, carrots, and butter in a large stock pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened. Add in the garlic and parsley, sauté until fragrant, around 2 minutes. Sprinkle the parsley and thyme over the vegetables and mix in.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring into the butter. Cook for 2 minutes until the flour smells nutty and is slightly browned.
  3. Whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Add in the corn, creamed corn, potatoes, and then salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Simmer on low and cook until the potatoes are tender and falling apart. Stir in the cream, whisking to ensure there are no lumps. Add in the cooked chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve in large bowls and top with minced green onions if desired.

How to Store Leftovers

This is a partially cream-based soup, so it is best eaten within a few days of making it. Store this in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If you want to freeze it, read my post on how to freeze cream soups. To reheat, simply heat up slowly, whisking to help the dairy fats incorporate back into the soup.

Happy Cooking

Love,
