Red’s Nutrition Tip
This sweet corn chicken soup is a well-balanced meal complete with protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and healthy fats. If you want to make it a little more filling, I suggest serving the soup with some crusty bread and/or a side salad.
Tips for the Best Sweet Corn & Chicken Soup
Use homemade chicken stock. While any chicken broth or chicken stock will work in this recipe, homemade chicken broth will provide the best flavor.
Use fresh sweet corn. Although you can use frozen corn, canned corn, or creamed corn in this soup, using fresh sweet corn will give you the best flavor. If possible, look for local, in-season bi-color corn, also known as peaches and cream corn.
Use leftover chicken. While the recipe calls for chicken breasts, this recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. Whether you have cooked chicken thighs, chicken breasts, or whole roasted chicken, this corn and chicken soup is a great way to use last night’s dinner leftovers.
