Slow Cooker Amish Snow Day Soup (Corn Chowder)

Ingredients:

Corn kernels (fresh or frozen) — 4 cups

Onion, diced — 1

Potatoes, peeled and chopped — 3

Carrots, diced — 2

Celery, diced — 3 stalks

Chicken or vegetable broth — 4 cups

Milk — 2 cups

Heavy cream — 1 cup

Dried thyme — 1 teaspoon

Salt and pepper — to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped — for garnish

How to Make Amish Snow Day Soup:

Step 1: Load the Slow Cooker

Place the corn, onion, potatoes, carrots, and celery into the slow cooker. Pour in the broth and stir everything together. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the vegetables are fork-tender.

Step 2: Blend for Texture

Once cooked, use an immersion blender to partially purée the soup. Blend just enough to make the base creamy, but leave some chunks of vegetables and corn for added texture.

Step 3: Warm the Dairy

In a saucepan over medium heat, gently warm the milk and cream until hot, but do not let it boil.

Step 4: Combine and Season

Add the warmed milk and cream to the slow cooker. Stir to combine, then season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Let Flavors Develop

Allow the soup to simmer on LOW or WARM for an additional 15–20 minutes so the flavors meld.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Ladle into bowls, top with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy warm.
