Recipe Tips for Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder:
- Block Cheese – This recipe is best with block style cheese instead of the shredded cheese at the grocery store. If you hand grate the cheese, the soup will be smoother and have a much better consistency.
- Diced Tomatoes – We used diced tomatoes with green chilies, but you can just use regular diced tomatoes if you don’t want that extra spice.
- More Vegetables – If you want to sneak in those vegetables, add in some bell peppers, carrots or celery.
- Beans – You can mix in some black beans or pinto beans if you prefer. Both options go well with this soup.
- Instant Pot – You can easily make this soup in the instant pot.
What to serve with Chicken Corn Chowder:
- Rice – You can serve this soup with some white rice or cilantro rice.
- Salad – Since this soup is hearty and filling, you can even serve it with a side salad.
- Roasted Vegetables – Roasted Vegetables would be easy to do with this slow cooker corn chowder recipe. Roasted Broccoli or asparagus is always a good option.

- Sour Cream

- Green Onion
- Cheese
Variation and Substitutions:
- Chicken – This is a great soup to use leftover chicken in. You can also use rotisserie chicken, chicken thighs, or canned chicken instead of putting frozen chicken.
- Change the Cheese – We used Monterrey Jack Cheese but you can easily use mozzarella or Pepper Jack Cheese.
- Green Chilies – To give this soup a little more kick add a can of diced green chilies.
- Seasoning – Mix in some chili powder for added flavor.
How to Store:
This is a great soup to make ahead of time for meal prep for the week. Store the soup in an air tight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
Can you Freeze Corn Chowder?
Yes, you can freeze corn chowder, however the texture might change when thawing. If you want tips and tricks on how to freeze soup, we have them all here.
Freezing soup saves time and money. Making slow cooker recipes at home is also better for you and taste better than the canned soup.
How to Reheat Corn Chowder Soup:
If you have a large portion leftover, place it in a large pot on the stove and reheat. If you are reheating individual servings, place in a microwave safe bowl and reheat. You may need to reheat in 30 second intervals.

Needing to cook gluten free, I will need to make a few changes. Canned cream corn is generally not gluten free, so will take a second can of corn, drain totally then use an immersion blender to โcreamโ the corn. Or other option is to mash some canned beans and use two cans of corn. My best option, for me tho, is using frozen corn instead of canned-sodium-do some measuring. I will use Costcoโs rotisserie chicken for better flavor. Otherwise, make this the same
This was AMAZING! We will definitely be making this again. Iโd use a third chicken breast and maybe add some cheddar next time.
My husband and I both loved this recipe!! I also added a can of drained & rinsed black beans. Iโm served with shredded extra sharp cheddar & diced green onion! Yum!!
Yes, each serving size us approximately 1-1.5 cups but each batch is different so a serving is 1/6 of the entire recipe.
i absolutely love this soup, but was curious on what the serving size is? iโm assuming may 1-1.5 cups, but wasnโt sure!
Made this, and it is amazing!!! I used fire roasted corn, and fire roasted Rotel.. followed everything else exactly. I loved it! crushed tortilla chips in mine, and topped with cilantro. it was DELICIOUS. definitely a recipe I’ll keep in the rotation.
yes they are correct. No you do not have to drain the cream corn.
Do we drain the cream corn or no? What size cans? 14.75 Oz is what I was able to grab for the creamed and 15.25 Oz for the whole corn. Thanks! Excited to try.
I would love your recipes
It was super yummy with a family that is sick everyone loved this one. Yummy with avocados and limes!
The crockpot Mexican chicken corn chowder was too easy to make and delicious to eat. We added avocado slices with a squeeze of lime. We had warm French bread to soak up the goodness. Will definitely make again.
Turned out super yummy. Added a bit more taco seasoning. It’s not that spicy, so for those who love the spice they will need to add some.
