If you are looking for a change up in your normal recipes then Crockpot Chicken Corn Chowder is a good recipe to try. The great thing about this recipe is you can make it very mild or very spicy. We prefer mild in our house but I plan to add some additional spice next time I make this. Some fresh chopped peppers added at the end would add some great flavor. I plan to use fire roasted corn next time as well. There is really no need to cut up the chicken unless you want to speed up the cooking time on this. Overall, this recipe has a great flavor and is pretty different then any other soup recipe I have made thus far. Enjoy!

Variations

  • I made this very bland the first time as I do not do spicy. Next time I will do the fire roasted corn. You can easily kick the spice level up or down on this recipe. Add a spicy chili powder, hot green chiles, and add some jalapenos.
  • I left chicken whole. Since I left the chicken whole, I cooked on low for 8 hours.
  • You could swap out the beans for other types of beans, pinto or red beans.
  • Next time I make this I will add an extra can of beans.
  • You could chop up Jalapenos, red and green peppers and add to the crockpot about 2 hours before it is done.
  • Add a chopped onion for an extra vegetable.
