Ingredients

• 4 cups Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Bacon bits (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your vegetables by peeling and dicing the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Dice the celery and mince the garlic.

Step 2

In a 6-quart crock pot, add the corn kernels, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.

Step 3

Pour the vegetable broth over the vegetables, then stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika to season.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

Step 5

When the vegetables are cooked, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and thickened.

Step 6

Carefully pour the roux mixture into the crock pot and stir to combine. Let the chowder cook for an additional 20 minutes on HIGH to fully thicken.

Step 7

Taste the chowder and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup for a creamier texture (optional).

Step 8

Serve the chowder hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and bacon bits, if desired. Enjoy!
