Next, add in the chicken legs, sweet potatoes, corn, broth, water and all seasonings. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook the soup for 1 hour.

  1. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
  2. If you don't have chicken legs, you can use any bone in chicken pieces. Weight should equal 3 pounds. I used 10 chicken legs for my recipe here.
  3. Instead of sweet potatoes, you can use Yukon Gold potatoes.
