Fall is upon us and nothing is quite as comforting {or easy!} as a warm, creamy Sweet Corn Chowder Recipe with Sausage from your slow cooker.

This Corn Chowder recipe is to die for!!! But first, let me talk about Mondays, okay?

Who do I need to talk to to make Monday the third day of the weekend? Seriously, where is that person and what is the sum I need to pay? I’m sure there are a few of you out there willing to chip in too, right? C’mon guys. You know you want to!!

This past weekend zoomed right by. I’ve come to the end of it in a daze wondering “what the blank just happened?”

Thankfully, I’ve been using my crockpot nonstop to save me time. I do a little prep in the day for a huge pay off come dinner time. Another crockpot bonus: a lot fewer dishes. There is a God and he does love me. Hallelujah.

Anyways with corn being at the tail end of its season and being particularly sweet, I thought I would make a corn chowder. With a little sausage for good measure. And cream cause, you know. Why not? *Also, it’s ME. Obvs, I’m using cream.

For 10 minutes of active cooking time, this came out RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. Creamy broth, sweet, crunchy corn with a little sausage action….perfection! Add a little biscuit or hasselback garlic cheesy bread to the mix and I have died and gone to heaven. YOU GUYS. Make this!! It’s really good. Just make sure your corn is sweet.

Here’s how you make it: Start by browning some onions, garlic, and sausage in a skillet. I do this to get that yummy flavor from browning food. Mmm….brown food. Dump this stuff into your crockpot.Next, you’ll want to cut all the kernels off your cobs of corn and get those into the crockpot too. Stir everything up with a little chicken stock, tarragon, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook on high for 4-6 hours. When you’re ready to thicken your soup, simply stir in a slurry mixture of heavy cream and flour. Leave it be for a little while longer and you should have a creamy and delicious CHOWDAH!

I love throwing a few oyster crackers on the whole thing and ended up adding a little parsley too. A great comforting meal that is suuuuper yummy 🙂 Here’s the printable. Enjoy your day friends!

Fall is upon us and nothing is quite as comforting {or easy!} as warm, creamy Sweet Corn Chowder Recipe with Sausage from your slow cooker.

Ingredients

▢ 1 tablespoon butter
▢ 1 medium onion diced
▢ 1 clove garlic minced
▢ 3 bratwurst links casings removed
▢ 4 ears corn kernels removed and scraped*
▢ 6 cups chicken broth

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Turn crockpot onto high to start getting warm.
In a large skillet, saute onions and garlic in butter over medium heat until tender and brown. Pour into warm crockpot. Place skillet back on the heat and cook sausage completely breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease and add to crockpot with onions. Stir in corn, chicken broth and spices. Cover and cook in crockpot on high for 4-4 1/2 hours.
Whisk heavy cream and flour together until smooth. {I just threw it into my blender.} Pour this into crockpot mixture to help thicken the chowder. Cook another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve hot with oyster crackers and parsley.
*For the corn: I usually cut all the kernels off the cob, then use the back of my knife to scrape out the insides + the milk.
