Corn and Potato Chowder

Slow Cooker Corn and Potato Chowder Ingredients:

8 ounces (1/2 pound) bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
2 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes (approximately 5 medium sized potatoes), NOT peeled, diced in 1/4 inch cubes
8 cups (about 2 pounds) kernel corn (I used frozen)
1 medium/large sweet yellow onion, finely chopped
1 cup chopped celery
6 - 8 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (my favorite is Aunt Cora's)
32 ounces (4 cups) chicken stock
16 ounces (2 cups) half & half or heavy cream
salt & pepper

Slow Cooker Corn and Potato Chowder Directions:

Combine all ingredients EXCEPT half & half in the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 10 hours or high for 6 hours.
Blend about half the soup using an immersion blender (or just scoop it into your upright blender then return to slow cooker).
Add half & half or heavy cream and continue cooking, uncovered, for about another 15 minutes, until heated through. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy!
