This chicken corn soup recipe is what I know as a Pennsylvania Dutch chicken soup recipe with corn. This chicken soup uses a combination of sweet corn and creamed corn.
We live just west of Lancaster county so there are many variations of this recipe so if you want to add an ingredient or take out an ingredient that you are more than welcome to.
This 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.

🗒️ Frequently asked questions and tips:
Some recipes will have you cook the chicken 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.
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.
