Slow Cooker Potato & Corn Chowder is a comforting and creamy soup that's perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. This hearty chowder combines the natural sweetness of corn with the starchiness of tender red potatoes, simmered together in a flavorful chicken broth.
Equipment
- Slow cooker
Ingredients
- approx. 29 ounces canned or frozen corn
- 8 medium red potatoes diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- half-pint heavy cream
- 3 ounces bacon bits
Instructions
- Combine the corn (canned or frozen) in your slow cooker, diced red potatoes, chicken broth, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook the chowder for 8 hours. This low and slow cooking process will allow the flavors to meld together and the potatoes to become perfectly tender.
- Once the cooking time is complete, remove 3 cups of chowder from the slow cooker. Transfer this portion to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the blended chowder back into the slow cooker and stir to incorporate it with the remaining soup. This step will help thicken the chowder and create a creamy, velvety texture.
- Just before serving, stir in the heavy cream and bacon bits. The cream adds a touch of richness and helps balance the flavors, while the bacon bits provide a delightful smoky flavor and a pleasant crunch.
- Serve the Slow Cooker Potato and Corn Chowder hot, ladling it into individual bowls. Enjoy this comforting and delicious meal with your loved ones.
