Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh corn in this recipe?

Yes, just make sure to remove the corn from the cob before adding it to the chowder.

How can I thicken this soup?

This slow cooker corn chowder should be pretty thick, but you can add an additional cornstarch slurry to thicken it more if needed.

Can I freeze corn chowder?

Freezing this recipe is not recommended. The corn chowder does not freeze as well as milk-based soups due to the dairy content.

  • Make this recipe vegetarian-friendly by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the bacon.
  • Make this chowder a complete meal by adding a cup of cooked, diced chicken to the slow cooker about 30 minutes before serving.
