My contribution to our BHM Potluck was this delicious Okra, Corn, & Tomato Chicken Stew! This recipe brings back memories of my childhood. My mom would make okra, corn, and tomato soup after getting some fresh produce from the farmer’s market.

I absolutely LOVED that soup! My mom got this recipe from her mom, so it’s become a family favorite and tradition. Even though the soup is absolutely perfect the way my mom made it, I wanted to add my unique spin on it and turn it into a fulfilling stew!

I decided to add chicken to my mom’s original recipe, and I also added a few green tomatoes to give it a little tart taste. I cooked it in my slow cooker and allowed those flavors to really come together.

Helpful Hint…

When making this Okra, Corn, and Tomato Chicken Stew, I recommend adding the okra towards the very end of the cooking process. This prevents the soup from becoming too slimy! I’m not a fan of slimy soup!
