Crock Pot Corn & Potato Chowder
Welllllll…. hello dear friends.
It truly has been a while. I was on a vacation for a little over a week with family in Oregon came back home and then got hit big time with a really really bad respiratory virus that had me bed ridden for a couple of days. So not fun… I hate being sick!
Hence the one post last week… I figured I needed to give myself grace during that week and rest; and I knew you would be thinking the same thing.. because … well you guys rock!
Now that I’ve had the weekend to recover I couldn’t wait to share this new recipe with you!
As I’m sure you know but now …. ahhhem… 30 Comforting Winter Soup Recipes…. I’m a little obsessed with soups this time of year so it shouldn’t be a shocker that todays recipe is a soup.
Typically I go more the “broth-y” route when I’m making soup because its healthier – aka not tons of heavy cream and butter added.
But there is a time and a place for creamy based soups…
Ladies and gentleman the time is now! Grab a bowl and a soup spoon! You can still have a creamy soup that is healthy and will still make you want to lick the bowl when your finished.
This Southwestern Corn & Potato Chowder has the creaminess that you want in a chowder, but its dairy free because its made with coconut milk. Yup.. coconut milk which gives it a fun sweet note that you wouldn’t normally get in a soup… but guess what it rocks!!
This potato chowder is packed full of flavor because all the dynamite ingredients have been cooking together in all their yummy goodness for like 5 hours getting to know each other really well. The smell in your kitchen will be insane!
Then just when your ready to devour it, top that bowl of soup with some fresh avocado and OMG…. just go ahead and face place in the bowl you know you want to!
P.S. Did I tell you there bacon in it… yeah.. reason enough to make it!

Question – can you make this ahead and then freeze it? Want to make for my sis who is recovering from surgery.
YES! Just make sure it’s cooled before you freeze it. When thawing place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours to thaw out, not in warm water.
Wow! This is amazing! Thank you so much 🙂 was a hit with the whole family 🙂

This was amazing! I accidentally bought too many potatoes and corn, so the crockpot was a bit packed! I used less veggie stock and it turned out great. I plan to use make this ‘curry’ style next time (add chicken, curry powder, exclude the SW flavors) and serve over cauliflower rice.
★★★★★
OH… let me know how the curry one tries out! Sounds awesome!
Would you double the time if you cook it on low?
Yes, I would cook it on low for 6-8 hours.
What size can of coconut milk did you use please?
hey anna, I used a 13/14 oz can but I only use the cream portion of it not the water. I think it comes out to 3/4-1 cup
What size crock pot? Will this fit in a 4q? Cooking time the same?
Cooking time would be the same but 4 qt might be cutting it close.
I’ve made this amazing and delicious recipe at least 5 times now. It’s one of my go-to recipes for fall and winter and I freeze leftovers to enjoy later. I skip the bacon to make it vegan, and I use all trader joes ingredients including frozen roasted corn, frozen fire roasted bell peppers & onions, and substitute frozen soycotash for some of the corn. YUMMM!!

Awesome!!! So glad to hear it and love the changes you make to fit your diet! 🙂
