Slow Cooking Thursday (Corn Chowder)

Time to participate again in the slow cooker recipe exchange that Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom hosts each week. This one satisfies my craving for warm and hearty soup in the winter and fall months. It's a quick and easy recipe and quite yummy! :)

Corn Chowder

Ingredients:

2 cans (16 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
3 to 4 medium potatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
1/4 cup butter or margarine
bacon bits

Preparation:

Combine first 6 ingredients in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.
Puree in a blender or food processor, if desired, then return to pot.
Stir in milk and butter; cover and cook on HIGH about 30 to 60 minutes longer.
Garnish with bacon bits before serving. (optional)

Makes 6-8 servings.

Well, that's all for now. Please visit other Slow Cooker Thursday bloggers, starting with Sandra. Please leave me a comment if you've done one yourself so I can go check it out.

Thanks!
