Ingredients

  • 1 lb turkey bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 4 potatoes chopped
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 16 oz cans corn, drained or frozen corn
  • 2 16 oz cans creamed corn
  • 4 cups chicken broth or water enough to cover ingredients
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons butter optional

Instructions

  • Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, onion, corn, creamed corn, and crumbled turkey bacon to a slow cooker.
  • Pour in enough chicken broth or water to just cover the ingredients.
  • Add thyme, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on high for about 5 hours or on low for 7–8 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk and cornstarch until smooth.
  • Stir the mixture into the slow cooker along with the butter, if using.
  • Cook for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chowder to thicken.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve hot, making sure to scoop both the creamy broth and hearty ingredients.

Notes

Cook the turkey bacon ahead of time for better texture and flavor.
Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
Use chicken broth for a richer flavor than water.
Adjust thickness by adding more broth if needed.
For extra creaminess, blend a small portion of the soup and stir it back in.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat gently, adding a splash of broth or milk if it thickens too much.
Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
