Crock Pot Corn Chowder is filled with fresh corn, potatoes, sweet corn and lots of crispy bacon. It’s so creamy and rich and makes a satisfying meal when served with some crusty bread or cornbread. This recipe makes a huge batch of soup, but don’t worry. Leftovers reheat well.

Corn Chowder topped with crumbled bacon in a bowl.

Corn is a great addition to any soup or chowder. Spicy Chicken and Corn Cowder and Crab and Corn Chowder are some of my favorite soups with corn in them. But this slow cooker corn chowder features soup as the main ingredient.

What I love about this Crock Pot Corn Chowder is that it has tons of corn in it. We’re talking 10 ears worth!

For seasoning there’s garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes, plus onion, potato, and carrots.

How To Make

All the ingredients get cooked in 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth. Not alot, but it’s plenty of liquid. You don’t want to add too much liquid or the soup will be watery and bland.

To thicken the chowder, half of it gets blended until smooth and then mixed back into the crock pot. Or if you have an immersion blender, just stick it right in the crock pot and process until about half the soup has been pureed.

A cup of heavy cream gets stirred in at the end and then crumbled bacon gets sprinkled on top.

The sweet flavor of the corn really shines through and is perfect with the salty bacon.

Variation

You can add some cheese to this recipe for extra flavor. Either stir a cup of shredded cheedar into the chowder at the end of cooking or top the chowder with shredded cheddar when you ladle it into bowls.
