Recipe Ingredients

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small chunks
• 2 liters of chicken stock
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 sticks of celery, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, finely chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 can (200g) of sweetcorn, drained and rinsed
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 handful of fresh parsley leaves, chopped (for serving)
• Crusty bread (for serving)

How To Make Slow Cooker Boneless Chicken Thighs Soup

1. Start by adding the chicken thighs, onion, celery, carrots, bay leaf, and chicken stock into your slow cooker. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir well to combine everything.
2. Cover your slow cooker with the lid and cook the soup on low for 7 hours. This will give the chicken time to become tender and absorb the flavors from the vegetables and stock.
3. Once 7 hours have passed, carefully stir in the drained and rinsed sweetcorn, making sure it’s well distributed throughout the soup. Cover and cook for an additional hour.
4. After the soup is done cooking, give it a good stir, then taste to check the seasoning. Adjust the salt and pepper if necessary to suit your taste preferences.
5. When ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Don’t forget to serve it with some crusty bread on the side for dipping.

Recipe Tips

• Add a squeeze of lemon: If you want to brighten up the flavors, just squeeze some fresh lemon juice into the soup right before serving. It really makes a difference.
• Swap the sweetcorn: If you’re not a fan of sweetcorn, you can replace it with frozen peas or even diced zucchini for a different texture and taste.
• Boost the heat: If you like a bit of spice, throw in a diced jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes. I love adding this for a little kick.
• Make it heartier: Sometimes, I toss in a handful of small pasta or cooked rice towards the end of the cooking process. It makes the soup more filling without much extra effort.
