Bamm! Really, it is that easy! Just like that you have one of the best vegetarian soup recipes ready to serve up! If I ate bacon I would totally try making this corn chowder with bacon crumbled on top or turn it into a southwestern corn chowder by adding black beans and avocado sprinkles on top. Sorry friends, I do not eat bacon so your gonna get a basic corn chowder that you can add whatever toppings you and your family enjoys!

New England clam chowder is probably one of my favorite cooler weather soups but I usually steer clear of it since it so high in saturated fats. Oh man, and those mini oyster crackers that are served with it at restaurants add assertively the perfect crunch! Low and behold I have made a low fat version of creamy corn chowder.
The conflict with corn is that corn is genetically modified meaning…
“A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified using recombinant DNA methods (also called gene splicing), gene modification or transgenic technology. This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.” –Source.

The benefits of corn is that it contains essential vitamins like vitamin C and B vitamins as well as fiber, magnesium and potassium. It is also beneficial to your eye health! Yellow corn is good for maintaining healthy eyes thanks to two antioxidants, zeaxanthin and lutein.
Corn chowder is absolutely the easiest inexpensive slow cooker soup and little time to required for the prep work! Typically they are not pureed but I puree or pulse mine slightly because my kids like it that way. If you are not pureeing it, add the coconut milk about 20 minutes before you are ready to serve the soup instead of adding it in the beginning with the other ingredients.
Simply place all of the ingredients in the 
Slow Cooker to heat for a few hours. When the potatoes are soft that is when it is ready to be pureed it to a creamy consistency or pour the cream in 20 minutes before then serve!
