Can I Make the Soup Creamier?

Yes, you can make this soup creamier! Try blending a portion of the soup and mixing it back in. Itโ€™s a quick trick to thicken the texture without adding extra ingredients.

Recipe Tips

  • Spice it up: If you’re looking for a kick, toss in some chopped jalapeรฑos or a dash of cayenne pepper before cooking. It’ll add a zesty twist that wakes up the palate!
  • Thicken the soup: For a creamier texture, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will give your soup that rich, velvety feel without much fuss.
  • Enhance the flavor: A splash of white wine can do wonders! Add it to the slow cooker at the beginning for an aromatic depth that’ll have your guests guessing your secret.
  • Go low and slow: If you have time, cook the soup on the low setting for an extra hour or two instead of the standard time. This allows all flavors to meld beautifully, creating a more harmonious taste.

Recipe Variations

  • Vegetarian delight: Swap the chicken for canned chickpeas for a vegetarian version that still packs a protein punch. Just rinse and add them with the corn!
  • Seafood twist: Replace the chicken with shrimp for a pescatarian take on this classic soup. Add the shrimp during the last 30 minutes to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Herb infusion: Stir in some fresh thyme or rosemary at the start of cooking. Herbs bring a fresh and aromatic dimension that makes the soup taste like a garden in a bowl.
  • Corn overload: Double the corn by adding a can of drained whole-kernel corn along with the cream style for a super corny experience that’s both fun and filling.

What To Serve With Chicken and Corn Soup

Serve your Chicken and Corn Soup with a tangy coleslaw, sweet potato fries, parmesan polenta, a savory apple and walnut salad, or crispy tofu cubes.

You can also pair it with soft dinner rolls or a refreshing cucumber salad for a lighter touch.

How To Store Leftover Chicken and Corn Soup

In The Fridge:

Place the cooled soup in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Ensure the container is sealed properly to maintain freshness and prevent any odors from affecting the soup’s flavor.

In The Freezer:

This soup is not ideal for freezing due to the egg content, which may change texture when thawed, potentially affecting the soupโ€™s consistency and overall quality.

How To Reheat Leftover Chicken and Corn Soup

Reheat your leftover Chicken and Corn Soup by pouring it into a saucepan and warming it over medium heat until hot, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating without burning.

Alternatively, microwave the soup in a suitable container for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating process.
