Instructions for Slow Cooker Amish Snow Day Soup:
Step 1: Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker
Add the corn, onion, potatoes, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker. Pour in the broth and stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until vegetables are tender.
Step 2: Partially Blend
Use an immersion blender to gently puree part of the soup, creating a creamy texture while leaving some chunks of corn and vegetables for bite.
Step 3: Heat Milk and Cream
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and heavy cream until hot, but do not let it boil.
Step 4: Combine and Season
Pour the warmed milk and cream into the slow cooker. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Let Flavors Meld
Allow the chowder to simmer on LOW or WARM for another 15–20 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 6: Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
