Ingredients
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 red pepper chopped
- 3 15-ounce cans yellow corn drained
- 3 cups heavy cream (see note)
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound baby red potatoes chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup flour
- salt and pepper to taste, (I used about 1 teaspoon each)
- 4-6 slices bacon cooked and diced
Instructions
- Add onions, red pepper, corn, milk, chicken broth, potatoes, flour, and Italian seasoning to slow cooker and stir. Cover and cook on high 4 hours or low 6-8 hours. Potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork.
- Stir in salt and pepper to taste and bacon. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
For a lighter version you can sub out the heavy cream for a lighter milk such as fat free half and half. Note that this will make the soup slightly less creamy and less rich, but still delicious.
