Slow Cooker Potato and Corn Chowder
I know spring isn’t the ideal time to share a chowder recipe, but we’ve had a bit of a cold snap lately with night temps dipping into the 40s, so I thought it was appropriate. Plus, this is a seriously delicious recipe.
The secret to getting it thick and creamy is blending a few cups of it at the end of cooking and mixing it back in being careful not to burn yourself. As you probably already know, I try to keep my recipes as simple as possible, but the extra step of blending is worth it in this instance.
I love soups because they are often inexpensive and a great way to sneak in lots of vegetables. I use my slow cooker almost anytime I make soup because it makes my life so much easier. Enjoy!
