This creamy chicken and corn soup is made entirely in the slow cooker, so it couldn't be easier. Chicken is slow cooked in a flavorful broth along with carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Corn kernels and diced Yukon gold potatoes make for a tasty addition to this soup. Flavored with savory spices, this soup cooks slowly and then turns into a creamy soup with addition of half and half and cream cheese stirred in at the very end. This recipe makes for a great dinner for the family, and a great meal prep for the week!
