This Grilled Corn & Chicken Soup is a wonderful creamy soup. Just make sure you don’t burn the corn! A great soup for those cold winter days.
I had this Grilled Corn & Chicken Soup recipe saved on my computer for the longest time. I don’t exactly recall where I found it but was a big hit with the family when I first made it. How can you go wrong with corn, chicken, cheese, and BACON?
While this soup recipe is not terribly difficult to make, just make sure you don’t burn the corn. I got distracted once and burnt the corn. The soup did not taste good at all with burnt corn!
If you want to take the easy way out, you can use corn out of a can. Not quite the same as grilled corn but still a good soup.
How to Grill Corn
There are several different ways to grill corn, with the husks, without the husks, or wrapped in foil. For this recipe, I remove the husks, rub a little olive oil on the cob and put them directly on the grates for 10-15 minutes.
How to Handle Raw Chicken
- Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
- Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
- Do not wash raw chicken (prevents cross-contamination).
- Wash all utensils and cutting boards.
- I highly recommend wearing Disposable Food Safe Gloves when handling raw chicken
- If not wearing gloves, wash your hands after handling raw chicken.
How to Make Bacon
If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I’ve put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon – 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.
If you are fortunate enough to own an Air Fryer, you can also follow my Air Fryer Bacon 🥓 recipe. Super easy!
An alternative to using chicken broth is Better Than Bouillon. I often use it when I don’t have broth on hand.
