    Corn Chowder!

    Corn Chowder

    This Corn Chowder gets your attention with its bold flavor.  We owe that to the addition of a creamy cilantro and Greek yogurt mixture.

    I was inspired by a recipe I found in Cuisine at Home's "Slow Cooker Menus" magazine, where this Corn Chowder is quite accurately described as "summer in a bowl."

    I made a few minor changes -- adding a bit more butter to saute the vegetables, using cornstarch to thicken, swapping a yellow bell pepper instead of a green one and swapping regular milk instead of buttermilk.

    You could probably cut out the butter altogether and "saute" the vegetables in a little broth, but butter is SO yummy why do that?!

    This Corn Chowder is filling and satisfying without being heavy.

    It's a perfect soup transition from winter to spring/summer.

    I hope you love it as much as we do!

     Enjoy!

    Corn Chowder is super easy when cooked in a crock-pot. Enjoy this corn chowder with bold flavors from cilantro, roasted red peppers and yellow peppers.

    Ingredients

    • 1 Pound sliced fresh mushrooms (I prefer cremini)
    • 4 Tablespoons butter
    • 1 Medium onion (finely chopped)
    • 4 Cloves garlic (minced)
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    • salt and pepper (to taste)
    • 1 16 oz. jar roasted red peppers (chopped)
    • 4 Cups vegetable broth
    • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
    • 5 Cups frozen sweet corn (thawed)
    • 1 yellow bell pepper (diced)
    • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • ¾ cups plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 cup milk
    • ½ lime (juiced)

    Note

    This Corn Chowder is full of healthy, vitamin-rich veggies and soul satisfying flavor.

    Using the crock-pot frees you up to do other fun things while dinner is cooking!  Frozen sweet corn is delicious in this dish, but if you can get your hands on fresh corn, that would push this Corn Chowder over the top! Inspired by a recipe I found in Cuisine At Home's Slow Cooker Menus Magazine. Made just a few minor changes. This chowder is filling and satisfying without being heavy. I hope you like it!
