Chicken Corn Soup

Homestyle Chicken Corn Soup! A super cozy soup made with noodles (or homemade rivels), tender browned chicken, sweet corn, salty bacon, plenty of veggies and a lightly creamy broth. Such a satisfying soup to make year round!

Can you add corn to chicken noodle soup? Absolutely and it makes such a delicious soup!

That’s just what you get in this soup recipe. It’s like chicken noodle soup upgraded with fresh juicy corn, plus we dot it in some bacon and blend in some cream for good measure.

It’s also similar to a chowder, and it’s adaptable to what you have on hand (as usual see ideas below). For instance you can replace bacon with ham or make this Pennsylvania Dutch style with homemade mini dumplings called rivels in place of noodles (making the soup completely from scratch!).
