This soup freezes well so you get that homegrown corn taste any time of the year.
1 whole chicken
Water
Chicken stock
1 -2 eggs
As much sweet corn as you want (2-3 bags is a good place to start)
Thin noodles, optional (If you can find a homemade type noodle, they’re best. If you can’t find them, small egg noodles will work, too.)
Salt
Pepper
1
Cook chicken in slow cooker with plenty of water. I usually fill mine 3/4 of the way full. I also often will cook the chicken overnight.
2
Pick all the meat, light and dark, off the bones.
3
Strain broth from slow cooker into a stock pot.
4
Add water to broth. Don’t add too much or you’ll lose the flavor. If you accidentally do add too much water you can balance it out with the chicken stock.
5
Add chicken and corn.
6
Bring to boil.
7
Drop in whole, uncooked egg(s) (in the shell). You’re basically going to hard boil these in the broth.
8
Allow mixture to cook for 5-10 minutes.
9
Remove egg(s). Shell and dice them. Return them to soup.
10
Add noodles until cooked al dente.
11
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

I’m, primarily, a stay-at-home mom. After a successful 13 year career in television news as a reporter and as a producer, life took some turns and my husband and I decided it would be best for all of us if I stayed home with our little ones for a couple years. I also teach various college courses at a local college and at one of the universities in town. That helps me keep my sanity.
I love being home to watch my babies grow up, but I also love that it gives me lots of time in the kitchen. I enjoy cooking. My biggest problem is that I have some seriously picky eaters in my house, which can sometimes take the joy out of cooking. So, I’ve learned to try new recipes and adjust them to my family’s liking. That’s what my blog’s about. I don’t write my own recipes. I just don’t have that gift; but I can follow directions on someone else’s recipe! One of the things my family hates most: onions. You won’t find them in any of the recipes I try. Well, they might be listed as an ingredient, but you can be sure we didn’t put them in.
So let us try things for you. I’ll save you the headache of wondering, “Is that recipe any good?” If there’s something you want us to try for you, send me the recipe and I’ll put it to the test! Think of us as your guinea pigs.
