Jo's Slow Cooker Bacon and Corn Chowder
This is better than any pea and ham soup you could ever make. If you by a bag of bacon bits(good economical buying), good and chunky, you may need to make the pieces a little smaller but don't make the pieces too small.
Ingredients
Serves: 8
- 1 kg smoked bacon bits -any off cuts are good and the smokier the better for fuller flavour
- 1 clove of garlic crushed
- 1 large onion
- 2 large potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 cans cream style corn
- 1 litre stock
- 1 packet soup mix/split peas (whichever is your preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Something else. Add the diced potato at the same time as the stock - 19 Jul 2009
I don't actually live 'down under' and am wondering what a "packet of soup mix" is? Can you tell me? - 21 May 2012
Really delicious! I used normal bacon and added smoked hocks for flavour. Perfect for winter, my whole family devoured it! Thank you. - 18 Jun 2014
