Potato Corn Chowder - Easy Dinner Recipe

Published: Aug 29, 2018 · Modified: Dec 16, 2020 by Lois · This post may contain affiliate links · 63 Comments

Potato Corn Chowder - thick, creamy soup made with potatoes, canned corn and plenty of crumbled bacon on top. This is a budget-friendly slow cooker soup your family is going to be requesting you to make over and over again. After you make this recipe you'll see why it's one of my favorite Best Fall Soup Recipes.

Does your family love soup for dinner as much as mine? Potato and Corn Chowder is one of those soups that your family is going to be requesting again and again for dinner.  And as an added bonus, it reheats nicely too if you have leftovers.

What I love most about this recipe, besides the taste,  there is no work at all to put together. Well, you do have to peel the potatoes. 

Serving homemade soup for dinner is easy when you add a side salad and a few slices of No Knead Bread. I mean, can you have soup without bread? I also love that this recipe is an economical meal.

  • Veggie peeler
  • Crock Pot
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients

Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!

  • 5 large baking potatoes; peeled and diced; about 4 cups.
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 3 cans chicken broth; 14.5 oz size each
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream or half and half
  • cooked bacon; optional topping
  • sour cream; optional topping
  • salt pepper to taste

Directions

Place the potatoes and corn into your slow cooker. Stir in the flour and toss to combine.

Toss the potatoes and corn with flour for potato and corn chowder

Add the chicken stock and salt and pepper to taste if desired. I always wait until after the soup is cooked to taste if it needs additional salt since most broths are very high in sodium.

Cover and cook on low 6 hours or 4 hours on high; until the potatoes are tender. All slow cookers cook differently, so you'll know the soup is done when you can easily stick a fork or small knife through the potatoes. 

Stir in the butter and heavy cream. Cook for an additional 20 minutes with the lid off until the soup has thickened.

Tips for Cooking Soup in a Slow Cooker

  • Sprinkle the potatoes and corn with the flour before you add the chicken broth.  This will help thicken the soup as it cooks.
  • Make sure you check the potatoes after they've been cooking for awhile in the slow cooker. The newer slow cookers tend to cook things really fast, so be careful.  You definitely do not want the potatoes overcooked as you'll end up with mashed potato soup.
  • I always stir heavy cream into ½ cup of the hot soup in a small bowl then add to the hot soup to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so please check your potatoes after 2 hours or so of cooking to see if they are fork tender.

      I've never tried this recipe with anything but the heavy cream, but I'm sure you could use half and half? Or maybe whole milk? You might need to make a slurry of flour and water to thicken up the soup at the very end. Let me know what you use and how it turns out for you. Thanks for visiting.

    I made the potato/corn chowder yesterday and we had it for dinner last evening. WOW! It is good. It would have been even better with bacon. When I got the bacon out it did not smell at all good and it looked funky, too. I didn't feel like running to the store because our weather is less than good right now. The next time I will make certain I have fresh bacon. I made some drop biscuits to go with it, too. A perfect cold, rainy day dinner.
