📖 Recipe

I probably shouldn’t admit this, but until recently, I wasn’t a big fan of social media. Then, I discovered just how much food information is out there and I was completely converted. I can look at photographs of food all day. It just makes my day to visually dissect it, envision myself making it, guessing at the various ingredients and, of course, imagine eating. I am a little embarrassed by how much of my day is spent looking at and thinking about food. I guess that is why I decided to start this blog..

This recipe was inspired by and adapted from one posted by one of my new Instagram friends @lisafoodcuisine. She posted a version of this soup that made my mouth water and I knew I would need to make a slow cooker adaptation ASAP. While I have no idea what her version tastes like, this is recipe came out exactly how my mind imagined it would.

Without question, the best part of “consuming” food visually through social media is the lack of calories. The lack of clean up is a close second. Some people say looking at pictures of food makes them hungry. I do have this issue.....sometimes. Mostly, I just find it completely satisfying!

🌽Ingredients

To start, you will need to gather the following ingredients:

chicken breasts
corn
creamed corn
chicken stock
garlic
onion powder
sesame oil
onion powder
cilantro
green pepper sauce
fine egg noodles

🥣Assembling ingredients

If you are planning to use a slow cooker liner, adding that is always the first step (and sadly, often forgotten and regretted later!) Turn slow cooker on and add sesame oil and garlic to heat a bit while you get the rest of your ingredients organized. Add all remaining ingredients except pasta, cover and cook. After about 5 hours, remove chicken and shred. Return shredded chicken to pot. About half an hour prior to serving, add noodles.

🍽Serving Suggestions

This soup is a warm and full meal all by itself. It is the perfect way to warm up on a cool day, but it is also light enough to eat on a warm day. Delicious when accompanied by a nice crisp salad and a crusty roll or crackers. It can also be enjoyed with a great side sandwich such a cold tuna or egg salad sandwich or a gooey grilled cheese sandwich. It goes especially well along side some Greek turkey meatloaf!

😉Hints & hacks

Tabasco Brand Green Jalapeño sauce in my new favorite ingredient. It is a little milder than the red hot sauces and adds just the right amount of pepper flavor without all of the heat.
The “secret” ingredient here is the sesame oil. I wouldn’t have thought to use it, but it makes all the difference. It doesn’t take much to make a big flavor impact.
This is a great dish if your people will be eating at different times. After the cooking time, turn your slow cooker to low and everyone can have a warm and filling meal, no matter what time they are ready to eat.
There are a lot of different opinions regarding the best way to shred chicken. Some people prefer to use a potato masher while other use the beaters of a handheld mixer. This chicken will be so tender it will be very easy to shred with two forks. Keeping it simple!
I always recommend the use of a slow cooker liner. Of course, this is an optional step. I like to purchase my liners in bulk for a less expensive per-piece price. Here are the liners I buy.
In the market for a new slow cooker? Here is the one I am currently lusting after.
