Slow Cooker Corn & Potato Chowder

"I feel like there are as many ways to make homemade corn chowder as there are grandmothers on earth. We all have our methods! I feel like you just can’t go wrong with a mix of corn, potatoes, onion, garlic, and cream. Also, a little love never hurt. When you make corn chowder in the crock pot, you’ll find that the starches from the cooked potatoes will do a lot of the thickening work for you. I also like to blend at least some of the soup with my hand blender to make it even thicker."
