Provided by Southern Living Editors

Time 6h25m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

14 ears fresh yellow corn (about 3 lb.), divided
2 ½ cups chicken stock
2 medium-size russet potatoes (about 1 ½ lb.), peeled and chopped
1 small yellow onion (about 5 oz.), chopped
4 thyme sprigs
3 garlic cloves, smashed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 thick-cut bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
½ cup finely chopped red onion (from 1 small onion)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 large lime)
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cut corn kernels from cobs using a sharp knife. Reserve 1 cup corn kernels. Place remaining corn kernels in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Working over a rimmed pan, use the back of the knife to scrape cobs to release all juices from cobs. Add corn milk, stock, potatoes, yellow onion, thyme sprigs, garlic, salt, and pepper to slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on LOW until potatoes are very tender and chowder has thickened slightly, about 6 hours.
  • Meanwhile, stir together reserved 1 cup corn kernels, bacon, red onion, chives, and lime juice in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve, up to 6 hours ahead.
  • Remove half of chowder, and set aside. Process remaining chowder in slow cooker using an immersion blender until smooth. (Or transfer half of chowder to a blender, and remove center piece of blender lid to allow steam to escape. Secure lid; place a clean towel over opening in lid, and process until smooth.) Stir together reserved and pureed chowder in slow cooker. Stir in heavy cream. Divide evenly among 6 bowls; top evenly with fresh corn topping.

SLOW-COOKER CORN CHOWDER



Slow-Cooker Corn Chowder image

The rich flavor of this lightly creamy chowder comes from slow-simmered corn cobs. After the kernels are removed, the cobs go into the slow cooker along with the potatoes and aromatics, where they infuse the broth as it slow-cooks. The corn kernels are added at the very end, so that they retain their fresh, poppy sweetness. Canned green chiles lend mild heat and tons of mellow, peppery flavor to go along with the sharper jalapeño. (If you come across fire-roasted canned green chiles, snap those up.) The miso adds a sweet-savory note that reinforces the corn flavor; but if you don't have it on hand, add about two additional teaspoons of salt.

Time 5h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ears of corn
1 pound small creamer potatoes, halved or quartered into 1-inch chunks
4 cups chicken broth or stock
2 (4-ounce) cans chopped mild green chiles
5 scallions, sliced, whites and green parts separated
5 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon yellow or white miso (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup light or heavy cream or half-and-half
Black pepper, to taste
Chopped crisp, cooked bacon (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and put them in a bowl; refrigerate. Snap the cobs in half.
  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the cobs, potatoes, broth, green chiles, scallion whites, garlic, butter, jalapeño, miso (if using) and salt. Cook on low until the potatoes are very tender, about 5 hours.
  • About 10 minutes before serving, use tongs to discard the cobs. Stir in the corn kernels and scallion greens and cook until warmed through. Turn off the slow cooker.
  • Whisk the sour cream and light or heavy cream together in a large liquid measure or a bowl. Slowly whisk a few ladlefuls of the hot broth into the cream mixture until combined. Stir the cream mixture into the chowder. Grind in a generous amount of black pepper. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve in bowls, and top with bacon, if desired.

Tips:

- Use fresh or frozen corn kernels. Frozen corn should be thawed before using. - For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. - Add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese for a cheesy corn chowder. - For a spicy corn chowder, add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper. - Add a cup of chopped cooked chicken or ham for a protein-packed corn chowder. - Serve corn chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers. - Leftover corn chowder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

This classic slow-cooker corn chowder is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight.
