This comforting chowder serves about six people and takes roughly 4 hours total (30 minutes prep + 3½ hours cooking). The recipe uses a slow cooker and combines simple ingredients to yield a creamy, hearty soup.
Ingredients & Flavor Base
You’ll need 1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken (breasts or thighs), 6 cups of chicken broth or base, and a mix of vegetables including corn (fresh, frozen, or canned), diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic.
Seasonings include Spanish-style paprika, thyme, salt and pepper. A bit of all-purpose flour is used later as a thickening agent, and heavy cream brings richness. Parsley flakes serve as garnish.
Instructions & Method
- Combine the chicken, broth, corn, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker. Stir to distribute evenly.
- Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken and vegetables are tender.
- Remove the chicken, shred it, and then return it to the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and heavy cream, then pour that into the chowder in the slow cooker. Cook on high for an additional 20–30 minutes, or until the soup thickens.
- Serve warm, garnished with parsley flakes and optionally with our Roasted Tomato and Basil Focaccia Bread.
Notes & Tips
- You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn, depending on what’s available.
- The final thickening step with cream and flour gives the chowder a smooth, velvety texture.
- It’s a flexible, cozy fall or winter soup that’s relatively low-effort thanks to the slow cooker method.
