Slow Cooker Sausage & Corn Chowder

This slow cooker chowder has potatoes but you don't have to peel or chop a single one - it's a miracle!

I love this chowder so much because it uses frozen potatoes. For some reason, I have an issue with slow cooker soups and potatoes. They never want to cook through. Even if they are cooked on low for 8 hours and they are cut small. I was over-the-moon excited that this had frozen potatoes o'brien - which contains onion and peppers in it. It's the perfect thing for a slow cooker recipe. And I didn't have to deal with peeling and cutting potatoes. So that definitely knocks off some prep time. All-in-all, this soup was easy to throw together and tasted wonderful. I loved how creamy it was and loved the sausage with all the veggies.
