The winter cold has finally arrived for us. Temperatures are in the 20s and frost is covering the ground. No snow yet, but at least I can turn my fireplace on without feeling weird about it!

This cold weather has me craving something warm and cozy for dinners this week and this crockpot Potato and Corn Chowder definitely hits the spot! My toddler, who is not the biggest potato fan, gobbled this up and even wanted seconds!

While the recipe is great the way it is, feel free to experiment by adding different spices, veggies, or toppings. I also used chicken broth (because we somehow ended up with 4 containers!), but swap that out for vegetable broth for a truly vegetarian dish!

I prefer using the low setting on my crockpot, but if you are running short on time, you can cut the cook time in half by cooking with the high setting.

This soup was hearty enough to serve without sides, but it will also pair well with garlic bread and salad. I would not recommend freezing this soup, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for several days.

The nutritional information is for 8 servings and does not include the optional toppings.

Hearty and cozy. The perfect winter soup for you and your whole family.

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces potatoes, diced (I used red potatoes)
  • 16 ounces corn kernels, frozen
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth, (or your favorite broth)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt, (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, (or to taste)
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne, (optional)
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • shredded cheese , (optional topping)
  • bacon crumbles, (optional topping)
  • green onion, diced (optional topping)

Instructions

  • 1)

    Using a 6 quart crockpot or slow cooker, add the diced potatoes and corn. Sprinkle with the flour and gentle toss to coat.

  • 2)

    Add the broth, garlic powder, thyme, basil, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne to the crockpot. Gently stir, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.  (I prefer cooking on low, but you can also cook this on high for just 3-4 hours.)

  • 3)

    Right before serving, mix in the butter and cream. Stir until butter is melted.

  • 4)

    Pour soup into bowls, top with the optional toppings: shredded cheese, bacon crumbles, and green onions.

  • 5)

    Serve and enjoy!
