Favorite slow cooker recipes/ Slow Cooker Corn Chowder in Winter - 7 pts

[Guest guest]

Snella, here is another favorite. The cooking time is only 6 hours,

so if you are putting it on in the morning, plug your slow cooker

into a timer.

Have fun!

When your crave fresh corn in the middle in winter, this

chowder can help. Made with frozen corn kernels, you get

the sweet, creamy taste of corn in every spoonful. Of

course, the chowder can also be made with fresh corn when

it is available with delicious results (you would need the

kernels from 6 ears). No milk or cream is used in this

recipe - the chowder gets its thickness by pureeing some

of the vegetables in the soup. Put a bottle of Tobasco on

the table for those who like heat.
