Easy Corn Chowder

jdubb07's Note:

My dad gave me a recipe book at Christmas a few years ago called Slow Cooker Recipes and this recipe is in it. I make this all the time now because we love it! I like to make it on a Saturday or Sunday to smell this soup cooking in my crock pot all day. Nothing like a good cup of hot soup on a cold day.
