How To Make Slow Cooker Amish Snow Day Soup:
Step 1: Combine and Slow Cook Vegetables
In your slow cooker, add 4 cups of corn kernels, 1 diced onion, 3 diced potatoes, 2 diced carrots, and 3 diced celery stalks. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth and stir everything together. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until all the vegetables are tender.
Step 2: Partially Blend Soup
Use an immersion blender to lightly blend the soup. You want a creamy texture while keeping some corn and vegetable pieces for a satisfying bite.
Step 3: Heat Dairy
In a small saucepan, warm 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat. Heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Step 4: Finish and Season
Pour the hot milk and cream into the slow cooker and stir well. Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Simmer to Meld Flavors
Allow the chowder to simmer on LOW or WARM for another 15-20 minutes so the flavors fully combine.
Step 6: Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting warmth of this hearty Amish classic.
This soup is perfect for a snow day or any time you need a little extra comfort in your life.
