Why you’re going to love this corn chowder recipe
This is the best slow cooker corn chowder recipe because of how minimal it is! I love using fresh ingredients in my meals, and this one has it all.
Even though this recipe includes some dairy, I made sure not to over do it, and really go heavy on the veggies instead.
A classic slow cooker corn chowder recipe will include vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and of course, corn!
Creamy slow cooker corn chowder recipe and how to make it nice and thick
The creaminess for this recipe comes from using organic whipping cream and grass fed butter. Use only a pint of whipping cream, or if you prefer to choose something a bit lighter you can go ahead and use half n half.
The thickness to this easy slow cooker corn chowder comes from corn starch. I wanted to try to keep this recipe gluten free, which is why I chose to use corn starch instead of flour.

Tips on how to cut your veggies for this delicious corn chowder
Who doesn’t love a thick, creamy chowder with chunks of delicious veggies inside? But sometimes there’s the questions of “how chunky is too chunky?” or “how small do I need to cut my vegetables?”. Check out my quick guide below giving you some tips on how to best cut your veggies for this easy slow cooker corn chowder.
CARROTS – if you are working with a medium or large carrot I first like to cut the carrot in half lengthwise, then I cut each half lengthwise again. So you are left with a carrot that’s been quartered (lengthwise), which will make the dicing process much simpler. Once I have all four carrots “sticks”, I hold them together and dice until I have little bite sized cubes.
CELERY – similar to how I cut the carrots, I will take one rib of celery and slice in half lengthwise. Then, proceed to dice the celery just as I did the carrots.
