Description
A warm, comforting chowder that combines sweet corn, smoky ham, and tender potatoes, all simmered to perfection in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup diced smoky ham
- 3 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, heat olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes, smoky ham, sweet corn, and thyme.
- Pour in the chicken broth and mix well.
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it warm through before serving.
Notes
To keep the cream from separating, warm it slightly before adding, and avoid boiling once added. For a chunkier texture, dice potatoes larger; for a creamier result, dice smaller or mash some before serving.
