Chicken Corn Soup is a winter staple at our house. This hearty soup is super easy to pull together AND bonus, it freezes really well. I think this soup has PA Dutch origins since many fire halls and churches serve it during their fundraiser meals.
Serve it with a side salad, homemade sugar-free applesauce and homemade artisan bread.
Chicken Corn Soup
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken – Read How To Roast A Chicken
- 2 – 1 lb. bags of frozen corn, you could also use canned, but I prefer frozen. My mom always adds a can of creamed corn for some variety.
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 – 3 quarts store bought OR Homemade Chicken Stock. This makes a very thick hearty soup, so use the amount of stock to suit your desired thickness.
Instructions
1. Over medium heat, add olive oil to soup pot. Add the onions and celery and stir until vegetables are soft. About 5 minutes.
2. Add the cooked chicken, corn, salt, pepper, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Freezer Recipe: This soup freezes really well. I make this recipe and serve for dinner and then freeze what’s left over in 32 oz containers. I also freeze it when it is really thick and then add some stock when I am cooking it at a later date to thin it out a bit.

I’m from Pakistan. and nobody make “any kind of soup” the way the Amish do! Always the best!🍴
If I were to thaw chicken out to use, what spices do you recommend to give it flavor?
I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika when I roast a chicken.
I’ve been making this soup for years – so glad you shared it. It’s truly comfort food. Like your mom, I add a can of creamed corn. I also boil and debone the chicken I’m using so it makes it’s own stock. Easy and affordable!
