Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Chowder

I am obsessed with Chicken Corn Chowder from Wawa, a convenience store in my area. I had never had chicken corn chowder before Wawa, and now all I can think is all the years I was missing out. This is a creamy soup that is also hearty with a slight bite. The only problem when I buy chicken corn chowder? I have to share with the kids. That is why I needed to start making this copy cat of Wawa’s chicken corn chowder.

I love being able to use my slow cooker for soup. It makes my life easier. I love being able to throw in the ingredients and then go about my day. When it is getting close to dinner, I add in the last few ingredients. Dinner is done nice and easy. Chicken corn chowder works great in the slow cooker. And it makes the house smell amazing.

With this tasty chicken corn chowder recipe, the kids will love it even if they tend to be a little fussy. Even my fussiest daughter will beg for my soup. If she likes it, it usually means everyone will like it.

Tips for making Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Chowder:

1. Whenever I make anything in the slow cooker, I like to use liners. It makes clean up a breeze. That’s the whole point of the slow cooker, it is easy.
2. I recommend a great cutting board. Well several to be exact. You should have one for meats, one for onions and garlic and one for everything else. I love wood ones personally. This cutting board set is naturally anti-microbial.
3. Make a large batch of this soup, eat it for a few days and then freeze it.
