The Best Corn Chowder
I was looking through a family cookbook while menu planning, and I saw this recipe for this crock pot corn chowder. It’s one of those recipes from my mom that I don’t remember ever trying. And it is a slow cooker recipe, and we know I’m always on the lookout for a good slow cooker recipe! So I put it down. Later that week, before I made the recipe, I had to call my mom with a question about the recipe, and she raved at how much she likes this chowder. Then I really knew I was excited to try it out!
It doesn’t get much easier than this corn chowder recipe. And it really is perfect. It’s a little different in that you don’t cook it with all of the liquid the whole time, so the potatoes that are along the edge of the slow cooker get nice and brown, which I thought really added a ton of flavor. You will want to make sure it doesn’t cook too long, though, because of the lack of liquid. Another thing I really love about this crock pot corn chowder is that it is really made from things I always have on hand. And while I used frozen corn, this would be a great way to highlight the fresh corn of summer.

Tools Used to Make this Crock Pot Corn Chowder
I think a 3 quart slow cooker is the perfect size for this chowder, simply because it doesn’t start off with a lot of liquid. That way, you don’t have to worry as much about the potatoes burning.

I’m so glad you liked it!!
Marla says
I am going to give this a try, I think I will add some shredded chicken to it also.
Kayla says
If I was going to double the recipe, would I still cook it the same amount of time?
Amber says
Same question here. Looks so good that I know I’ll need a double batch.
Janet says
5 out of 5 stars!!
Have made this soup 3 times already. My family loves it, my friends love it.
AND will be making it again in the future.
FYI – I also put in 1/2 stick butter and 1 cup grated extra sharp cheese.
It’s just me!!
Deborah says
I’m so glad you loved it!! And I see nothing wrong with adding butter and cheese. 😉 In fact, I think I need to try it next time I make this soup!
Andy Feliciotti says
This recipe is awesome by the way! I’d recommend putting some text next to the half and half say it’s added at the end though (even though it’s in the instructions it’s easy to skip over that :P)
Amber says
I just added the half and half before realizing it should be added at the end. Hopefully it will be okay.
Logan says
I wanted to make this tonight. Started making the bacon and realized I don’t have cream corn. I usually have some on hand. 😁 Do you know what I could use instead of creamed corn? I thought about adding canned corn with the juice and then adding a bit more half and half at the end?
Katit says
If I don’t have creamed corn on hand I take whole kernel add a little milk or half and half and blend adding dairy as needed to get the right consistency
Teresa says
This is THE BEST corn chowder I have ever had! I’m not exaggerating. I added 1/4 cup of diced onion and substituted Canadian bacon instead of regular bacon. I can’t wait to try it with a little chicken stock to make it a little less thick next time. It’s a good thing it’s a small recipe because my husband and I couldn’t stop eating it! Thank you!
Deborah says
I’m so glad you loved it!!!
brandon says

Mary says
Is the only liquid when it is cooking all day just from the creamed corn?
Deborah says
Yep, that’s it!
Leigh says
Gosh, I put this on my menu for this week (December 1) and noticed the top of the recipe says cooking time is 6 hours 15 minutes, but in the actual directions, it says 3-4 hours on high, add 1/2 & half for 15-20 more…? Two hour discrepancy…which is correct?
Thanks;)
Deborah says
Ooops – thanks for catching that! The instructions are correct – the time on the top was wrong. I have corrected the recipe. 🙂
Chels R. says
I can’t WAIT to try this!
Emily says
Yay for another yummy crock pot soup recipe!
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh says
Oh that looks so warm and comforting!
mrs wright says
This is so similar to my mom’s recipe that she makes in our well-seasoned and well loved cast iron skillet, but adapted for a crock pot! I prefer sautee-ing the onions in the bacon fat along with some garlic and jalapeno before adding to the crock pot, and skip the Worcestershire and sugar altogether, the corn is sweet enough as is. Sometimes I do add some cumin or taco seasoning, my own twist on Mom’s recipe. This recipe conjures up so many great memories of cooking with Mom, thanks for sharing! PS It’s always better the second day!
Deborah says
@mrs wright, recipes from our mom are always the best, aren’t they! I’m going to have to try some of your substitutions next time!
Kelley {mountain mama cooks} says
I was looking for a crockpot corn chowder and love that yours comes up 3rd on google! 🙂 this sounds so good! I think I have almost everything on hand!
Deborah says
@Kelley {mountain mama cooks}, yay for 3rd on Google!! 🙂

Hey Taste & Tell !
I’m Chef Corey from Family Fresh Meals. Corn chowder is my oldest daughter’s fav, so I can’t wait to give this a try!
XO Chef Corey
Charissa says
It looks divinely delicious! I think if I were to make this I'd replace the normal bacon with turkey bacon. Thanks so much for sharing!
Abby says
We've been eating a lot of boiled corn on the cob that I froze last summer. I'm going to remember this for next fall!
Marie @ Myculinarycalling says
Oh! I have been looking for a good Corn Chowder recipe. I think it is probably my favorite soup! I will have to try this!
teresa says
i love that you can choose what kind of liquid to add. this looks sweet, smoky and creamy, so yummy!
Tammy says
sounds wonderful! I could never make the same meals over and again, I do have family favorites that I always resort back to, but I love new recipes and exploring. My family never knows what they will get each night! Of course that means I have an almost embaressing amount of recipes and it's always hard to find one that I want to make again because it's lost in the endless collection of recipes I've accumulated!
cindy says
I'm picky when it comes to crock pot meals, but this one looks delish. I'll give it a try. Hang in there on the 'waiting' game. Been there, done that–6 times!
Rosa's Yummy Yums says
Mmmhhh, so conforting and scrumptious!
Cheers,

Rachel says
Looks delicious!! My mom pretty much had the same 5-6 dishes that she would make, but the funny thing was that those would change every few years. I can remember that my mom would cook fish almost every night for about a year and a half, but then mysteriously she switched to chicken every night for the next two. My dad (after 20+ years) is begging for some variation!
Joanne says
My mom cooked approximately two meals the entire time that I was growing up. So I would definitely be shocked if I ever unearthed some hidden recipe trove of hers. this chowder looks delicious and I can certainly see why it's a favorite!
Karly says
Yum! I love corn chowder, but I've never tried making it in a crock pot!
Rick and Nikki says
Looks delicious! You think I can use buttermilk instead of real milk?? Or would that be bad? Trying to get rid of the few cups I have left..
Ann says
I've always loved corn chowder. I think I'll be making this later this week. It looks wonderful and I too love a slow cooker recipe.
Edward Poulin says
Growing up in the 60’s and working a very large garden along side my dad, we grew everything and used every bit of the harvest. What we didn’t eat right away was canned by mom. so we enjoyed that harvest all year long. Well to my comment, Mom made this recipe with just a few twists of her own, like making her own creamed corn made with real cream that she would skim off the top of the bottled milk we had delivered. THANKS FOR SENDING ME BACK IN TIME TO ENJOY!!!
