There are few things better than a big bowl of piping hot soup on a cold, blustery day. This is especially true of creamy soups loaded with meat, vegetables, and lots of flavor that fill you up.
This chicken corn chowder meets all of those qualifications. Plus, it’s made in the crock pot so you can have the tantalizing aroma of the chowder filling your house all day!
This chicken corn chowder is filled with more than just chicken and corn. It is also full of potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic. Oh, and it’s topped with cheese, lots of cheese, because corn chowder must have cheese!
This chowder quickly became one of our favorites to make not only because it tastes great, but also because it’s easy to make and we usually have all of the ingredients on hand to make it.
Notes: This recipe makes a big batch of chowder making it perfect for having leftovers the next day. It also freezes well if you want to stick some in the freezer for a meal later in the week.
Since it’s just the two of us, we have frozen the chowder up to a month, and it’s still reheats to a nice, creamy chowder.

I have got to tell you… As soon as I saw this recipe yesterday, I knew I had to give it a try. And I was actually looking for a crockpot dinner for that night. So I made it, and everyone just LOVED it! my spouse doesn’t even like soup, yet there was no complaining, and i think I even heard a “yum” coming from that end of the table! Thank you for providing an easy and delicious soup that my whole family loves!

Ugh, I just put the condensed milk and parsley in and didn’t read that I needed to wait until the last 10 minutes. Is it ruined?? I just added all the ingredients at once.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says

This looks absolutely delicious – can’t wait to give it a try!
Tammy says
just found you on pinterest and this soup looks yummy! Quick question is it 1 can cr of mushroom and 1 can cream of celery?
Thanks
Tammy says
Never mind just saw the question answered above. Thanks.
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
Sorry that I made it confusing! I’ll need to change that!
Jo says
Just cooked this for dinner tonight it was amazing! Especially the addition of the grated cheese on serving. I found the potatoes, even though they were diced small, needed a bit more cooking but otherwise NO complaints in this house. I am sure this will be a regular on our menu
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
So glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know!
Laura says
thanks for sharing this yummy recipe! it is in the crock pot as I write. Can’t wait til dinner!!!
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
Oh, I hope you like it! 🙂
Haley says
I can’t see the other comments so I am also confused about the amount of soup used in this recipe. Please clarify what kind and how much. Thank you
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
You can use either 3 cups of homemade cream of mushroom or celery soup. Or, you can use 2 (10.5 ounce) cans of cream of mushroom or celery soup. Hope this helps!
Sarah says
Sounds good! Has anyone tried this using raw chicken breasts instead of cocked chicken? Thanks!
Jenna says
Hi, I am excited to make this! Costco used to have an amazing chicken corn crowder and then they stopped selling it. Quick question: to freeze, do I cook it all entirely then freeze or throw the potatoes in raw with everything and freeze then cook fresh and all the evaporated milk in? Thanks!!
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
I could everything first and then freeze it. Hope you like it!
heather says
Great fall soup! I use one can if the celery and one can of the mushroom and It’s perfect every time!
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
So glad you like it Heather!
Mandy @Mandy's Recipe Box says
I love a good soup recipe. This chowder looks awesome!
Jenna says
1.5 lbs of cooked chicken, shredded, now do you mean add in already cooked chicken and add that to the pot and let it cook as instructed, or throw the raw chicken in as is?
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
The chicken is cooked and shredded before adding it to the crock pot. Hope that helps!
N brown says
Making this tonight. Accidentally added the evaporated milk with the rest of the ingredients. 🙁 did I just ruin it?!
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
You should be fine. The only thing it may affect is the appearance of the chowder as sometimes the evaporated milk gets a little grainy looking. Hope you like it! 🙂
