Chicken Corn Soup Recipe Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Chicken and Corn Chowder

Such a hearty, comforting and CREAMY soup, made right in the crockpot. Let it do all the work for you! EASY!

It was about 80 degrees today in Los Angeles. This is after a huge dip from our heat wave over the weekend where it was seriously over 100 degrees F.

So with this "cooler" weather, it was time to bust out the crockpot and make soup.

With corn, chicken and bacon. Obviously . But it's all made in the slow cooker so you don't have to lift a finger.

Okay, well maybe just two fingers for the bacon. It'll be worth it. I promise.

And this makes enough to feed an army so you can have this creamy pot of heavenly goodness day and night. Just keep a secret stash of bacon somewhere.

It's what puts this chowder over the top. Duh.
