Slow Cooker Potato and Corn Chowder
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our privacy policy for details.
The easiest chowder you will ever make. Throw everything in the crockpot and you’re set! Easy peasy!
It’s crockpot season! I finally dusted off my slow cooker, which was covered in a lot of Butters’ fur, and put it to use immediately. And even though it’s hitting close to 90 degrees F, this cozy chowder is an absolute must.
Now the beauty of this recipe is just how easily this comes together. Simply throw everything into the crockpot, let it cook on high for 4 hrs (or low for 8 hrs), and then stir in your butter and cream.
Done and done. Super easy, right? It’s practically fool-proof.
Best of all, this soup is enough to feed an army and freezes beautifully. Just be sure to hold off on the cream and butter until after defrosting.
Now if it’s still 90 degrees F in your area, just be sure to crank up the AC and serve yourself a bowl of this hearty soup. It’ll keep you cozy all year long!

Can I add onions and celery to this? If so, when?
I would add in step #1.
I’ve made this several times now, always delicious! Also works great in the Instant Pot, takes about 22 minutes. Glad to hear others have tried adding green chiles, I was thinking that might be really yummy! Thanks for this great, simple recipe!! 🙂
How many average size potatoes is 24 oz???
Lisa, I apologize but it is quite difficult to give a number of actual potatoes as they can vary quite a bit in size.
can you please be more specific when to add butter and cream ? example : the last hour , the last 5 min etc.
At the end of cooking time – basically right before serving! So the last minute? 🙂
I am cooking for a diabetic. How many carbs in this chowder? It looks great!
Thanks,

Nutritional information is provided only for select and new recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe, I recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”) to obtain such information. Hope that helps!
Awesome soup!! LOVE your recipes.
Silly question though ….. Can this fit in 4 qt crock pot or is the bigger one needed, can I half the recipe?
Thanks in advance.
OOPS forget the question on size crock pot.. I re-read and got my answer. Sorry wish I could have deleted this.
Yes, it should fit!
If I’m cooking this on a stovetop, how long should I cook for? How long do I bring it to a boil for and then how long do I simmer for?
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
How do you recommend reheating this? Should I wait and add the cream for each time I reheat? (I’m single so this will be several meals for me.)
Yes, that should work!
Thank you for all your wonderful recipes! I have been making a lot of your recipes lately all the way from Jeju! I am planning to make this tonight, but (you probably already know) everything here is measured in grams instead of ounces. Could you let me know how many cups or grams of corn and potatoes are called for in this recipe? Thanks again and I love the way you flavor your recipes!
You can use this calculator for cooking measurement conversions. Hope that helps! 🙂

I have an abundance of chicken broth at home, can I use that instead of the chicken stock?
Yes.
I made this and had only about 5 cups of stock and it was still too much. As this is supposed to be a chowder it should be thicker and this is a bit too stock based than cream based.
Is 1/2 or 1 cup of whipping cream too much to add?
You can add as much or as little as you’d like!
Hello. Can I use whole milk instead of cream?
Yes.
How could I adjust this to make it for a 3.5 quart crock pot? Planning on making this today. Thanks in advance.
You may have to reduce the ingredients as needed to ensure that it fits in a smaller slow cooker as indicated in the recipe.
Making this right now, instead of onion powder, I used one small onion, and I added a red bell pepper! Thanks!
Wow! towards the end I also added some cayenne and a dash of worcestershire, and then put 1/3 of it into a blender to help it “thicken”. Delicious! Thanks!
About how many red potatoes equal 24 ounces?
There are roughly 7-9 small red potatoes in one pound.
I made it according to your directions and it is in the slow cooker now. It does appear a bit thin to me. I sure hope the cream and butter will thicken it up before I serve it to my guests tonight.
Made this yesterday! Very yummy!!
Can I use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock without changing the taste too much? My daughter doesn’t eat meat products.
Yes, absolutely.
I’m new to croc pot meals. I would like to freeze the meal before cooking it. Can all ingredients be frozen and just add the butter and cream at the end? How does freezing the meal affect cooking time? Thanks!
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself – there were no leftovers left to freeze! Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
