Description

This comforting Crockpot Corn & Lentil Soup is the ultimate cozy meal for chilly evenings. It combines the rich, savory depth of boneless chicken thighs with the earthy texture of lentils and the bright pop of sweet corn. Warm spices like turmeric and cinnamon add a subtle, aromatic warmth that elevates the simple ingredients without overpowering them. The slow cooking process ensures the chicken falls apart tenderly, infusing the broth with incredible flavor. It is a perfect make-ahead dish that tastes even better the next day, making it ideal for busy weeknights or meal prep. Serve with crusty bread for a satisfying, home-style feast that feels like a warm hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place 1 1/2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken thighs into the slow cooker.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups lentils, 1 large chopped onion, 3 sliced celery ribs, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 7 cups chicken broth to the pot.
  3. Stir all ingredients together to combine evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 5 hours or on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, until the chicken is tender and lentils are soft.
  5. Remove the chicken thighs from the soup and let them cool slightly.
  6. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Return the chopped chicken to the slow cooker.
  8. Stir in 1 cup cooked corn kernels, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
