What Makes This Recipe So Great
This chowder is warm and comforting, perfect for chilly days. It’s packed with tender potatoes and sweet corn, making each bite rich and satisfying. Using a slow cooker allows the flavors to blend beautifully without much effort.
Directions
Tos the potatoes, both types of corn, evaporated milk, veggie broth, chopped sweet onion, celery, garlic powder, dried chives, Worcestershire sauce, and some black pepper into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 6 hours. If you can, give it a gentle stir every now and then to keep everything blending nicely. Once it’s done, give it a final taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to. Serve it up warm and enjoy!
