Slow Cooker Corn Chowder

Category: SOUPS/STEWS

Ingredients
3 bacon slices, diced
1/2 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup celery, minced
2 cups water
3 teaspoons chicken boullion
2 cups potatoes, minced
2 cups milk or soy/rice milk
2 cups liquid non-dairy creamer, mocha flavour, cream, milk or soy/rice milk
3 cans corn, cream style
2 tablespoons margarine
Instructions
1. Fry diced bacon until crisp, remove from pan. Add minced onion and celery to bacon grease and saute until limp.

2. Combine above in slow cooker with water, bouillon, potatoes, margarine and corn.

3. Cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours.

4. Add milk and cream, cook 30 minutes more or until heated through.



Note: You can use chicken stock to replace water and bouillon cubes. Mocha mix makes this soup extremely rich tasting, and the Mocha mix does not curdle with high heat like regular milk or cream. This can also be made on the stovetop. Instead of placing in slow cooker, simmer on the stove until potatoes are tender. Add the milk, cream, or liquid non-dairy creamer and heat through. Serve immediately.
