Nicole’s Corn Chowder

About how many servings does this make?

Cooking this for the first time over night for dinner tomorrow night. I only used 6 yellow potatoes and that seemed to be enough. Can’t wait to try it! :)

This chowder is absolutely delicious! When my kids come home from school and see the crock-pot out, they race to the counter to see if this chowder is inside it! They even asked for it for their special birthday dinner – instead of going out!

I give this recipe a 5 star review. Easy and great tasting. Hubs loved LOVED it! This went in the recipe book

Mara, it should be fine. Let us know.

I have been planning on trying this all weekend! I am excited to see how it turns out…. I accidently(In my groggy Monday early morning state) put the half and half in the crock pot mixture!!! :( Does anyone know if this will ruin it on the chower will not turn out right????

Made this today. The chowder is super-yummy, and now my house smells fantastic! :-)

Turned out fantastic! Definitely a keeper …. thanks!

Added some salt, pepper, cumin and thyme. It rocked!! I used 4 large potatoes.This one is a keeper. Makes a lot, so will have to freeze some. (WOOHOO)

Made this tonight using russet potatoes, onions and added 2 cloves of garlic and a few mushrooms all finely chopped. My boys loved it. Didn’t have any ham, but it still was fantastic!

Delish! We had to go to dance and then come home to eat, so i mashed and added the cream and butter and kept on low for two hours instead of high for an hour. Will definitely be a regular meal for us

It should be fine. Just really meaty. Let us know how it turns out.

Uh oh… I used 16 oz of ham! I’ll let you know how it turns out!

Delicious! Thank you! Has anyone ever added rotel?? Has anyone ever frozen this soup?

LOVED IT! My child who will only eat Lunchables gobbled it right up!

Is the can of whole kernal corn drained??

I found this recipe on Pinterest and it turned out absolutely delicious! My family is vegetarian so I substituted the chicken broth for vegetable broth and used meatless ham. Thank you for the recipe..definitely saving this one!

Made this tonight and my family LOVED it! Instead of ham, I added a drained can of rotel and it came out great!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I did add a little extra broth and used frozen hash brown potatoes. Other than that I did as stated in the recipe and it was yummy!

Made this yesterday for the first time! My husband is in love with this recipe! I had to add a little bit of salt to make it to our liking, but otherwise a VERY good recipe!

The above recipe calls for 6 to 8 potatoes. It doesn’t specify what kind so I went with russet. However I only used five as that made the crock pot really full as is. I just came across the video and in it they said they used 4 potatoes…so mine is taking forever to cook :( it smells good tho :)

This was fabulous! I found a bag of diced ham at Wal-Mart and it was perfect for this! Thanks for correcting the # of potatoes b/c I shared this on fb today! :) This really was so perfect for a cool fall night. Good idea on the frozen hashbrowns Lynda! I loved having my 4 year old daughter help me clean the potatoes though– ha!
Thanks for a great recipe!

Thanks Lee..it should be 6-8. Got it fixed :)

And thanks for all the tips Lynda and sharing how you tweaked the recipe. We love hearing how y’all make these recipes to your own taste!

Happy Crockin’, y’all!

I have made a similar recipe before and it is DELICIOUS! It’s even easier if you “cheat” and use frozen diced hashbrown potatoes. Voila! No peeling and chopping. Big time and energy saver. Also, more “almost homemade” cheats would be to use frozen chopped onions (for those of us who hate chopping onions) and even canned ham (in the canned meats/ tuna section of the grocery store). And to lighten up the calories, regular or evaporated milk would work, although the chowder wouldn’t be quite as creamy. YUM!! :-)

Hi, Girls. I’ve got this in the crock pot for tomorrow but I just noticed that your recipe on here says 4–6 potatoes but in the cookbook, it says 6-8 potatoes…

Awesome! Thanks.

Jelena

The cans are just regular sized cans. Something like 15 oz. Also, we used russet potatoes, medium sized.

Quick question: How big are your cans of corn (both cream and kernel) in terms of ounces? Also, what kind of potato do you recommend using?

Thanks!

Jelena

Sure…HIGH for about 4 hours!

Could you cook this one high?

This would be a great meal exchange recipe. You can make this a freezer meal and assemble everything in a zip-lock bag and put it in the freezer. That way you just pull it out and put in the slow cooker when you are ready.

Mmmm this sounds sooo yummy! I participate in a meal exchange and I’m wondering how well this might freeze? Would I need to cook it in the crock, then freeze or could I assemble, freeze & then give to allow them to cook on their own? The potatoes are what I’m not sure about…

This is really yummy! I used red potatoes that don’t need to be peeled and added a few roasted red bell peppers for an extra pop of flavor and color!

We loved this chowder! Even great as leftovers. Definately will make it again!!

Awe…I hope you get to feeling better, Jasmine. I hope the corn chowder helped to feed your sick body :(

Amanda, just use a potato masher or fork to mash the ingredients. You don’t want the potatoes to be whole for this recipe. We actually made a video for this recipe, so you can crock your corn with us. Sorry I didn’t see your message sooner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSFU7UAZMXM

I’ve been sick all week and saw this recipe on my aunt’s Facebook after she had Pinned it. I knew this would make me feel better so I decided to make it today but made it on the ‘High’ temp. and reduced cook time to 4 hours (also omitted the ham). After 4 hours I added the butter and cream…now I’m patiently waiting till 8 o’clock to enjoy some! I’m going to crumble some crackers over it too….yum! So glad I discovered this site!

Does mas mean to blend this? I am cooking in the crockpot now & hoping you can tell me

How do you mash this?

Gosh, I just printed this out! Will try it this week!

Just toss them in, Michelle!

Did you drain the cans of corn or just toss them in?

If you need more spice, Rotel makes a spicy version of their product. You can never go wrong with bacon ;)

Made this today.It is good..the consistency is right..I thought it needed something spice wise…..I am going to add a half clove minced garlic and exchange ham for bacon next time I make it. I think it can be a winner :)

You go girl! Glad you’re crockin’ with us, Chantal!

This soup is delicious!!! We have soup Mondays at my work and I brought it for lunch today. I made a double recipe and let it cook overnight, was ready and delicious right in time for lunch.
Thank you!!!

Hey Stephanie…thanks for letting us know the healthier version was yummy, too!

Delicious

I made this for the first time today and it was very (VERY) good! I substituted fat-free half and half and added salt and pepper. This is definitely a KEEPER. Thank you, Nicole.

LOL…it’s not Claudia. Thanks for noticing! We’ll have to get that little intro changed for sure :) Happy Crockin’, girl!

Is this a MORNING meal?

Loved it! I used all cream corn and used some left over roasted chicken instead of the ham. This is a very versatile recipe. About to put it in my crock again for tonight!

Loved this one !

My family loved this even the picky 3 year old.

This was a HUGE hit in our house! Delicious!
