Slow Cooker Amish Corn Chowder 🌽🍲
A hearty, creamy corn chowder made with tender potatoes, sweet corn, and savory seasonings—perfect for cozy meals and chilly evenings!
🧾 Ingredients:
4 cups frozen corn kernels (or fresh corn if in season)
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for a bit of smokiness)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for added creaminess)
👩🍳 Directions:
1. Prep the Ingredients:
Add the frozen corn, diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the slow cooker.
2. Add the Liquids:
Pour in the chicken broth, milk, and heavy cream. Stir in the butter, salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika (if using).
3. Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
4. Mash the Potatoes (Optional):
For a thicker, creamier texture, use a potato masher to gently mash some of the potatoes right in the slow cooker. If you prefer a smoother chowder, use an immersion blender to blend until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Add Cheese (Optional):
If desired, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese for extra creaminess. Let it melt into the soup.
6. Serve:
Ladle the chowder into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with extra shredded cheddar, fresh herbs, or crispy bacon bits if desired.
🍽 Serving Suggestions:
Serve with warm crusty bread or crackers on the side for dipping. You can also add a side salad for a well-rounded meal.
