Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Southwest Corn Chowder.
Step 1
Imagine a warm, inviting kitchen filled with the sweet aroma of corn. Start by gathering your ingredients: the fresh corn, cream cheese, and a medley of spices. In a slow cooker, combine the white sugar, corn kernels, cream cheese, shredded Mexican cheese, low-fat milk, chicken broth, sliced celery, minced garlic, bacon pieces, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed, letting the flavors mingle.
Step 2
Set your slow cooker to high and let it work its magic for about an hour. This is the perfect time to relax, maybe enjoy a cup of coffee or catch up on your favorite show. After an hour, reduce the heat to low and let the chowder simmer for an additional two and a half hours. The longer it cooks, the more the flavors will develop, creating a creamy, comforting dish that’s sure to please.
Step 3
Once the cooking time is up, give your chowder a gentle stir. The bacon will have added a delightful smokiness, and the corn will be tender and sweet. Serve it hot, perhaps with a sprinkle of extra cheese on top or a side of crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy this creamy delight with family and friends, and watch as it warms their hearts.
