Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a large crock pot, add the frozen corn kernels, diced potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, and chicken broth.
Add the cooked, crumbled bacon (reserve a small amount for garnish, if desired).
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and stir well to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
About 20 minutes before the cook time ends, prepare the cream mixture. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly, until the flour is lightly golden.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Stir the cream mixture into the crock pot and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Cover the crock pot again and cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the soup to thicken slightly.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with reserved crumbled bacon and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
