Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1.5 pound bag little potatoes
  • 1 small onion, (diced)
  • 2 carrots, (peeled and diced)
  • 2 stalks celery, (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 8 ounces ham (diced)
  • 1 (15.25 ounces) can corn (undrained)
  • 1 (32 ounces) container chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1-2 cups instant mashed potato flakes
  • salt and pepper, (to taste)

Instruction

  • Dice potatoes, onion, carrots and celery.
  • Place diced veggies into crock pot (slow cooker) along with minced garlic, diced ham, dried thyme, can of corn and chicken broth.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Then pour in two cups of milk.
  • Depending on how thick you like your chowder, add 1-2 cups of instant mashed potato flakes. Start with one cup, stir, cover with a lid and let sit for 5 minutes. If it's not thick enough for you, slowly add in a little more. No more than two cups because it will thicken the longer it cooks.
  • Allow the chowder to cook for an additional 20 minutes on low. Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
