Ingredients
Instructions
-
Layer the Ingredients: Place the diced chicken at the bottom of your slow cooker. Top it with the diced potatoes, onion, celery, garlic, and corn.
-
Add Seasoning and Broth: Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and dried thyme over the vegetables. Pour the chicken broth over everything. Do not stir—this layering helps everything cook evenly.
-
Slow Cook: Cover the Crockpot and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
-
Shred the Chicken (Optional): About 30 minutes before serving, you can remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, and return them to the pot. If you used diced chicken, you can skip this step.
-
Add the Creaminess: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to form a smooth slurry. Pour this slurry and the heavy cream into the slow cooker. Stir everything gently to combine.
-
Thicken and Finish: Cover and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes, or until the chowder has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Serve: Ladle the hot chowder into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes like crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions.

Note
- Thickening Tip: If your chowder isn't as thick as you'd like, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot with a spoon or use an immersion blender for just a few seconds to partially blend the soup.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The chowder will thicken considerably as it cools.
- Reheating: Reheat gently on the stove over medium-low heat, adding a splash of milk or broth to thin it out if needed.
- Freezing: While dairy-based soups can sometimes separate, this chowder freezes reasonably well. Let it cool completely before storing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
