Creamed corn and butter make my chicken corn soup homey and rich. This recipe makes a big batch, but the soup freezes well for future meals—one reason why soups are my favorite thing to make. —Beverly Hoffman, Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3 chicken bouillon cubes

  • 12 cups water

  • 2 cans (14-3/4 ounces each) cream-style corn
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Optional: Celery leaves and coarsely ground pepper

Directions

  1. Place first 8 ingredients in a Dutch oven; bring slowly to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
