Slow Cooker Corn and Sausage Chowder
Welcome back to day 5 of soup week!
I hope you get a chance to try a recipe or two that I’ve shared this week and maybe find a new favorite. Also, don’t forget to enter the giveaway for the cast iron dutch oven at the bottom of the post! (I’ve added new entry options each day of the giveaway.)
So far, all the soup recipes I’ve made this week were made using the dutch oven I’m giving away. (Love that pot!) It’s so versatile and great for many types of dishes other than just soup. It is quite heavy; (cast iron after all) but since it’s so pretty to look at, I just store it right on my stove top.
I did want to include at least one slow cooker recipe this week. (It’s crock pot season after all.) This Corn and Sausage Chowder recipe definitely fits the bill- creamy and loaded with delicious sausage and vegetables; it will fill you up and keep you warm on those cold winter nights! (Yesterday, I complained about the warm weather we’ve been having and good news: the weather channel is now predicting lows in the 40’s over the weekend, yea!)
OK, so the truth is, the kids are getting a little sick of soup week and have asked for anything but soup for dinner! (My son specifically requested orange chicken- I’m sharing the most awesome 20-minute orange chicken recipe next week, just waiting for approval since the post is sponsored.)
Sorry kids, dinner is already made, so stop complaining or “NO SOUP FOR YOU!” Luckily once they tasted the sausage chowder they quickly changed their minds, and it might even be their favorite of the week!

Hubby’s favorite was a 3-way tie between the Sausage and Bean Soup, White Chicken Chili and this one, though the Bean and Sausage one may be in the lead. My favorite flavor wise was a tie between the Bean and Sausage Soup and White Chicken Chili, but waist-conscious-wise my favorite was the Asian Chicken and Veggie.

- 1 large carrot, chopped (I left this out because I don’t like cooked carrots- it’s up to you.)

Loved all these recipes. Can't wait to try them.
Sarah says
Bought everything and trying this tonight, but when do you add the cheese? Thanks!
Jamie says
Oops, I'm so glad you noticed that! It goes in with the evaporated milk. I'm out running errands, but I will fix that when I get home.
Sarah says
It was delicious! Thanks 🙂
Chara says
Love this soup. I have made it many times for the family and everyone loves it. Today I accidently added evaporated milk at the beginning. I hope it still turns out.

Excellent! Made soup as written, except cut recipe in half (there are only two of us). Used a 1 1/2 quart crockpot and cooked for 3 1/2 hours.
Rachel says
Can’t wait to try this! Anyone put the sour cream in? Whatever is in the picture is what I want mine to look like! Making this for a friend with a new baby this week!
Jamie says
I didn’t garnish this one with sour cream. It looks like I used a bit of bacon, shredded cheese and green onions. If you like sour cream be sure to check out this one too, it’s amazing: https://www.scatteredthoughtsofacraftymom.com/2015/11/family-favorite-white-chicken-chili.html

This recipe sounds good. Although I’m with your kids in that orange chicken is also good. I once found a slow-cooker recipe for orange chicken that only involved chicken, a jar of orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, and sweet-n-sour sauce. I also once made an Asian-inspired orange beef dish with ground beef, a jar of sugar-free orange marmalade, and some Thai chili-garlic sauce which was pretty good but I think I overdid it on the chili garlic sauce a tad LOL.
Shannon says
The sausage corn chowder was delicious! I used fresh creamed corn and substituted the hash browns for riced cauliflower. I also didn’t have evaporated milk, so substituted half and half. Yummy!
