Lee-za's Crockpot Corn Chowder

Contributed by: Lee-za Matthews

I am a confirmed soup lover! I love a nice warm, hearty bowl of soup along with some delicious bread (and maybe some cheese, because what meal doesn't get better with the addition of cheese?). The amazing corn chowder comes from housie Lee-za Matthews.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 can cream corn
• 1 can whole kernel corn
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 8 ounces diced ham
• 1 cup diced onions
• ¼ cup butter
• 2 cups half-and-half

Directions:

• Place potatoes, both cans of corn, chicken broth, ham, and onions into the slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 7-8 hours (or high 3-4 hours).
• Mash the mixture to your desired consistency, then add butter and half-and-half.
• Cook for an additional 30 minutes on high, and you’re set!

Kate's notes. Can I just say I am SO looking forward to giving this a try!! I love that it can cook for 8 hours so it is perfect for a 2 WOH parent household. I am going to put this in my crockpot and Leslie Brandt's bread in my breadmaker and my family will come home to an awesome from-scratch meal. All cooked while I was busy at my office. Technology is so amazing :)

PS Keep your eye's peeled for that bread recipe! It is coming soon!!
