Crockpot Potato Chowder

I love potato chowder, and nothing beats it cooked on the stovetop. But sometimes, you don't have time for that. Bring in the crockpot.

What you need:

• 5 medium potatoes, cut up. They will blended later, so it doesn't really matter how you cut them. 
• 2 lbs frozen corn
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 6-8 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups cream or milk
• salt & pepper to taste
• optional garnishes: cheddar cheese, green onion, bacon

Steps:
1.Combine everything except the cream/milk in a crockpot
2. Cook on low for 10 hrs / high for 6 hrs
3. Blend half of the soup with an immersion blender
4. Add the cream/milk and cook uncovered for 15 more minutes
5. Garnish with cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon crumbles
