Slow Cooker Gourmet Corn and Potato Chowder

Slow Cooker Corn and Potato ChowderMy mind has been working in all sorts of weird ways these days. Like every meal idea that pops into my head makes me wonder “can that be done in the crockpot?”. More often then not the answer is yes. Except for, well, I can’t even think of anything at the moment! But then there are those moments where I start making something I’ve been making for years and it’s more like a slap my forehead with my hand/why haven’t I been making it in the crockpot all along!

Slow Cooker Corn and Potato ChowderI’ve been making this recipe from Tyler Florence for as long as I can remember, making my own adaptations along the way. Pretty much everyone who has walked though my door for dinner any number of times has had this at least one. Whether they like it or not 😉  Hopefully they like it…I think they do! At least that’s what they tell me! And now I have an even easier way to have this cooking away while I have more fun chatting with my guests or even just hanging out with my family.

Slow Cooker Corn and Potato ChowderI use frozen sweet corn to keep it simple and you can change it up a bit depending on what kind of potatoes you use. Almost any kind will work it just depends on the texture you prefer! A regular russet potato will break down and make your soup thicker and be a little more mashed up. Red potatoes hold their shape a little more and are super yummy. My favorite of all is to use some gold or baby dutch potatoes! They are nice and creamy with a little bite and while they are softened they don’t get mushy, even after cooking in the crock all day.

Slow Cooker Corn and Potato ChowderI just love the flavor of thyme in this soup. In my opinion it really makes it go from ok to amazing. If you don’t like thyme I think you could sub out something like rosemary or an Italian seasoning blend but really, thyme is totally the way to go.

Slow Cooker Corn and Potato ChowderLet the potatoes, corn and broth simmer all day with the spices. Then come home and add in a cup of heavy cream and you will be in soup heaven. Yes, an entire cup of cream. I never said this was low-cal, but I did say it was yummy!! Hits the spot every time!

Need a slow cooker to use for this recipe? Here is the one I bought and have been using all year and love! Perfect for chili or meat or most any recipe and comes in several sizes. I use the 4 quart for most of my meals.

    I haven’t tried this yet, but is it a thick chowder? I am hoping you say yes because I want to try this! Thanks!

      This one is not super thick but you can easily make it so. Sub out gold potatoes for russet potatoes and let them cook down and they will thicken the chowder.

    Delicious! Thanks for a great recipe! I added some jalapeno sausage to it to satisfy the meat lovers in my house but would be great without that too!

        This was great! We added fresh baby asparagus and used 2% milk. Sprinkled with bacon. Family favorite!
