🔪Instructions
This crock pot corn chowder involves just a few simple steps:
Preparing Your Slow Cooker
Prepare your slow cooker by coating it with a non-stick agent. Any nonstick cooking spray or oil will work. Olive oil and avocado oil are my go-to coatings.
NOTE: some slow cooker inserts come with a nonstick surface. Use of a non-stick agent is still suggested. However, oil is sometimes recommended rather than spray to protect the longevity of the non-stick surface. Check your slow cooker's manual if you have any concerns.
Alternatively, you can choose to use a slow cooker liner.
Cooking
- 🌽 Add all ingredients other than creamer and potato starch to a greased slow cooker.
- 🌽 Stir to combine fully.
- 🌽 Cover and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or high for 3.5 - 5 hours. Your soup is ready for the next step when the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
- 🌽 Temper cream by stirring some of the hot liquid from the soup into it. Then, stir it fully into the soup in your slow cooker.
- 🌽 **optional** For a thicker soup, make a slurry by using a separate bowl to mix 1 tablespoon potato starch with 2 tablespoon cold water. Slowly stir slurry into the soup. You should see it start to thicken almost immediately.
- 🌽 Serve and enjoy!
🍽Serving suggestions
- Bread - a heel of crusty bread, garlic bread, and cheese bread are all great pairings for crock pot corn chowder.
- Sandwiches - grilled cheese, tuna salad, turkey salad, and chicken salad sandwiches will all turn this soup into a satisfying meal.
- Salads - a crisp green salad, a chicken Ceasar salad, and a protein-full bean salad are great pairing ideas.
- Garnishes - Try topping this amazing comfort food with sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, sour cream dollop, or spicy red pepper flakes

🔁Substitutions*
- Are you a fan of spicy foods? Swap the cubanelle peppers for jalapenos, poblano peppers, or other spicy peppers of your choice
- Cubanelle peppers can also be swapped with green bell peppers. Red peppers can be used as well for added sweetness.
- Add cooked, shredded chicken breasts to turn your corn chowder soup into a slow cooker chicken chowder.
- Substitue fresh corn for frozen when it is in season.
- Try replacing oat milk creamer with full-fat coconut milk, cashew cream, or heavy cream. Each will change the flavor a bit, but the final result will be delicious.
- If your personal preference is a less thick soup with amazing corn flavor, try Chicken And Corn Soup.
