Slow Cooker Chicken, Corn, Potato Chowder

Tired Mom's Note:

The original recipe for this chowder called for white fish & shrimp. My family is not a fan of seafood so I replaced the protein with chicken. You could also use left-over turkey. This recipe can also be prepared stove top. Just sweat the onions in a few tbsp of olive oil before adding broth, etc. Bring to simmer until potatoes are tender, blend & add the rest of ingredients until heated thru and slightly thickened. Serve with a nice loaf of bread & butter.
