This homemade chicken corn soup recipe is what I know as a Pennsylvania Dutch chicken soup recipe with corn. This homemade chicken soup uses a combination of sweet corn kernels and creamed corn.
We live just west of Lancaster county, deep in the heart of Amish country so there are many variations of this recipe if you want to add an ingredient or take out an ingredient you are more than welcome to.
This great recipe is one of our favorite fall comfort foods. Oh, the layers of flavor! The tender chicken, the homemade broth, the al dente carrots, and the noodles make your belly feel full.
If you would like to explore more PA Dutch recipes I would suggest you start with pork and sauerkraut and then also slippery ham pot pie.
With just a few steps of preparing the soup was in the crockpot in no time! I have also included stovetop instructions for those who want to make it in a pot on your stove.

🥘 Chicken and Corn Soup Stovetop Instructions
- Sauté onion and carrots until tender.
- Add the chicken and all ingredients to the pot.
- Cook on medium heat for 1 hour or on medium-low heat for up to 4 hours.
- Remove chicken and shred it with two forks or place them in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to easily shred them.
- Return the chicken to the pot.
- Add the broken pieces of angel hair pasta to the pot cook for an additional 10 minutes on medium-high heat.

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Soup Variations:
- Skip a step and use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken in place of the raw chicken breast.
- For another layer of flavor, use boneless skinless chicken thighs in place of the chicken breasts.
- Add rivels. Rivels are a great way of stretching soup to serve more servings. Stir to combine a cup of flour with one large egg and a ½ teaspoon salt until the rivel dough comes together. When the soup has come to a simmer, drop the dough in small pieces into the soup to cook. Rivels are a cross between dumplings, drop biscuits and homemade noodles but without the work.
- Switch up the garnishes - top with thin slices of green onions, crushed tortilla chips, or diced red bell peppers.
How to Store the Leftover Soup
Leftover chicken soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or frozen for longer storage. Make sure to cool the soup completely before transferring it to the storage container to maintain its freshness.
Is it okay to use fresh corn or canned corn when I make this slow cooker soup?
Both fresh corn and canned corn can be used in the soup recipe, but fresh corn may provide a fresher flavor while canned corn offers convenience. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preference and availability of ingredients.
Do you cook the chicken before putting it in soup?
Chicken is cooked in some recipes before adding it to a chicken broth based soup but you are missing out on all the flavors the chicken releases when it is cooked directly in the soup. I advise cooking the chicken breasts in the soup for optimal flavor.
What can you put in crock pot chicken corn soup to make it taste better?
This recipe calls for skinless chicken breasts and I love them for this recipe for the ease of shredding the meat. But for another layer of flavor, substitute in split chicken breasts, with the bones and skin included. You will then have to remove the skin and take the meat off the bones before shredding the chicken but the soup will have much more flavor.
