Slow Cooker Maine Corn Chowder is sweet but smoky from the bacon. This is a dump and go recipe! So easy.
This Maine Corn Chowder was easy to make, it’s one of those dump and go recipes. This soup is made with a can of creamed corn and a can of regular corn, I also added diced Yukon gold potatoes to make it heartier. If it was summer time I would have used fresh corn, I can’t wait to try it that way too.
I want to apologize if you were here on the blog this weekend and couldn’t leave a comment or access a recipe. My blog’s theme decided to crash, and couldn’t be updated. I spent 3 days and nights adjusting this new look of the blog. I hadn’t planned on changing the look of the blog since I spent 3 years getting everything right, but I do think the new look of the blog fits my personality well.
Here is my YouTube video about how to make this Slow Cooker Maine Corn Chowder. You can follow me on YouTube, here.

Instructions
- Add every everything except the cream into a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.

August 18, 2016 at 3:16 amI made this overnight for the morning. I forgot to buy bell pepper so maybe that’s why, but this doesn’t have much flavor so I had my own seasonings.

November 21, 2016 at 5:44 pmIf you have finicky girls, use imitation bacon bits. You’ll have a pretty pink soup. I made an oops & used jarred imitation bacon bits instead of real bacon (cook in nursing home at the time) and the pickiest eater had 2 bowls and wanted more! Btw, this corn chowder looks tasty! It’s almost exact to my mom’s, and she was raised in Maine.

December 18, 2016 at 11:51 amOh no! This looks SO DELICIOUS and I want to make it right away, but I’m stuck with no way to pick up cream or half & half. Is there some kind of milk/butter combo I could use that would work?

April 24, 2018 at 7:00 amIf I don’t have 8 hours to cook it can i do it on high for less time and it still be good??
Sarah Olson says
April 24, 2018 at 9:52 amYes it would be fine! I’d do 5 hours on high.

April 24, 2018 at 7:36 amWe can’t get creamed corn in Denmark – how can I substitute it?
Sarah Olson says
April 24, 2018 at 9:53 amHi Maria, could you blend up a can of corn slightly? With a splash of the liquid from the can. That would work fine.
Maria Lisette Jacobsen says
April 26, 2018 at 10:54 pmYes I could easily do that!
Lauren Dow says
August 8, 2018 at 9:40 amThe potatoes won’t turn to mush being in the crockpot for 8 hours?
Sarah Olson says
August 8, 2018 at 10:12 amNot at all. They are just getting done getting tender at 8 hours.

March 4, 2019 at 1:12 pmHi Sarah, this chowder comes out thin for me, is there any way to thicken it up just a little? Thanks!!
