Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn

2 cups diced cooked ham

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium potatoes, diced

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Prepare the Mixture: In your crockpot, combine the sautéed onion and garlic, sweet corn, diced ham, diced potatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

      Cook in the Crockpot: Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat. Let the chowder cook for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.

        Add Cream for Richness: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream to give your chowder a creamy texture. Allow it to warm through on low heat.

          Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chowder before serving and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

            Garnish and Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy the warmth and flavors of this hearty dish!
