Crock Pot Mexican Corn Chicken Soup

There is nothing like a warm, comforting bowl of corn chowder to chase away the chill. It’s even better when it is a little spicy!

If you are looking for a creamy, filling, and flavorful soup to make in your slow cooker, this is a great choice!

This slow cooker Mexican Corn Chicken Soup is a dump and go recipe. It will be cooking away as you get other things done.

How Spicy is This Soup?

Just a bit. You can control how spicy it is by how much chipotle in adobo you use. Add more for spicy, as-is is mildly spicy.

Make it Vegetarian

You can make this Mexican corn chowder into a delicious vegetarian meal by simply omitting the chicken, and using water or veggie broth in place of the chicken broth.

This slow cooker Mexican corn chowder is perfect for Game Day, and goes very well with soft, crumbly corn bread, buttered corn tortillas, or biscuits.

Can I use Chicken Breasts?

• Yes you can, however you will want to reduce the cook time so they don’t over cook.
• Also, leave the chicken breasts whole so the meat doesn’t dry out. You can shred them after cooking.
