Ingredients

(Serves 10 to 12)

Soup Base

• 8 to 12 chicken thighs or drumsticks
• 1 bunch celery, chopped
• 16 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 4 to 5 ears sweet corn

Creamy Finish

• 2 to 3 cans cream of mushroom soup
• 2 to 3 cans cream of chicken soup

Seasoning

• 3 to 4 tablespoons Cleve's Texas Two-Step
  
  

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken

Boil the chicken until it is fully cooked and falling off the bone. This creates a rich base and tender meat for the soup.

2. Shred and Season

Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it, and season it with Cleve's Texas Two-Step to build flavor early.

3. Start the Crockpot Base

Add half of the broth along with the chopped celery, mushrooms, onions, and corn to a crockpot.

4. Build the Stock

Return the chicken bones to the remaining broth and simmer to pull out more flavor. This step deepens the richness of the soup.

5. Combine Everything

Remove the bones and pour the stock into the crockpot with the vegetables.

6. Add Creaminess

Stir in the shredded chicken along with the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups.

7. Season and Finish

Add Cleve's Texas Two-Step and mix thoroughly. Let the soup cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until everything is heated through and well combined.

8. Serve

Serve hot and let the flavors come together into a rich, comforting bowl.

Pro Tips

• Simmer the bones longer for a richer, more flavorful broth
