It's A Crockin' Kind Of Day - 3-14-09 Chicken & Corn Soup

The weather has turned off cold & rainy. The rain we desperately need but the cold...ehhh...I can do with out it. Days like this though are great for staying under the covers and reading a good magazine or book. What better on a cold day than a hot bowl of soup? So that's what's on tap for today's menu. I don't know about you but I just love my crockpot(s). So I'm letting it go to work for me while I take care of other things around the house. Care to join us for dinner????? *grin*

1-2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves - diced
