Ingredients
- 4 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups Potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 large Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 8 slices Cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large crock pot, add the frozen corn kernels, diced potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, and chicken broth.
Step 2
Add the cooked, crumbled bacon (reserve a small amount for garnish, if desired).
Step 3
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and stir well to combine.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 5
About 20 minutes before the cook time ends, prepare the cream mixture. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 6
Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly, until the flour is lightly golden.
Step 7
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 8
Stir the cream mixture into the crock pot and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Cover the crock pot again and cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the soup to thicken slightly.
Step 10
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with reserved crumbled bacon and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
