Slow Cooker Mexican Street Corn Soup

Well it's mid August and I'm just now getting around to blogging this recipe.  My tardiness should not reflect on this recipe.  It is freaking delicious.  More than that, I made this recipe with ONE HAND.  Back in January when I had surgery on my right hand because my dang thumb was falling off...I was sitting around with Mr. Devilish Dish playing pretend Bar Rescue (See Hillstone Crisp Martini Recipe) and I was miserable and bored.  I do not do well when I am not the queen of my domain - cooking and cleaning.  It was a rough 12 weeks of recovery.  The very first recipe I made with one hand was Mississippi Meatball Sub Sandwiches.  To which I say cooking with one hand is a true accomplishment, even if it is only 6 ingredients.  The second recipe I made after climbing the walls with boredom was this recipe: Mexican Street Corn Soup.  Mr. Devilish Dish wasn't even home and I was determined to conquer this cooker recipe all by myself.  And I did it!  If you ever doubt your cooking abilities, just remember at times - there are recipes on this blog I've made with one hand or literally standing on one leg.  That all being said, this recipe is so good.  Easy or not, one handed or not, I am a sucker for a slow cooker recipe.  Throw it all in and go on your way.  This recipe is perfect and I am so happy fall is approaching so I can make this a million times this winter.  Just like everyone's favorite "elote" this has all the flavors of street corn with the heartiness of chicken.  Mr. DD loved this and was amazed I pulled it off with one hand.  You know what you can't do with one hand?  Wash dishes.  That's what he got to do.  Too bad it was only one slow cooker and two soup bowls.  Seriously.  Try this one out this season.  Whether you have one hand or lots of hands to help, this is so hearty and delicious, and simple to put together.

This is so good.  Like Crazy Good!

Top with all the toppings.  Be extra.

We served it with leftover quesadillas from
the MexiMart. Authentic lol.

Sliced avocado is the key topping to this.
Seriously what isn't better with fresh avocado
on top???
