Soups are perfect this time of year. I don’t think anything tastes better on a cold winter day than a bowl of hot soup.
I love to make soups because they are usually a meal in a bowl. Yes, you can add some bread or something else to it, but you do not need to. A bowl of soup is usually enough on it’s own.
I especially like this soup because it is a slow cooked soup.
Slow Cooked Potato Corn Chowder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 lbs of potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1 inch chunks
- 3 14.5 ounce cans of chicken broth
- 1 10 ounce bag of frozen corn
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- 5 ounces of swiss cheese shredded
- 4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
Cook onion in butter until tender. In the crockpot combine cooked onion, garlic, potatoes, and chicken broth. Cook on low about 4 hours or until potatoes are almost done. Add corn, milk, and cream. Cook another 30 minutes to 1 hour or until potatoes are tender and ingredients are heated through. Stir in cheese, place into bowls, and sprinkle each bowl with bacon pieces.

Yum! Looks so good. It is soup season. : ) Melissa

I might try brocolli instead of corn in this too.
Tried this today. Very good flavor, but I had to thicken it up a bit. As written it turned out with a broth consistency instead of chowder. When I think chowder, I think of thick and creamy. Next time I may add some shredded chicken breast also.
