- 4 bacon slices, minced

- 6 cups milk
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 12 ears of corn, kernels removed, 6 corncobs
- reserved
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Salt, to taste
- Cayenne pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a slow cooker.
- Pour off all but 1 Tbs. of the drippings from the pan. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, milk, potatoes, corn and reserved corncobs to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Remove the corncobs and discard. Using a stick blender, puree the chowder directly in the slow cooker to the desired consistency. Alternatively, in a blender or food processor, puree the soup in batches until smooth. Stir in the chives. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Serve immediately.
