Steps

  • 1
    Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, mix potatoes, frozen corn, diced tomatoes, green chiles and onion. Stir in broth, chicken, taco seasoning mix and red pepper. Cover; cook 5 to 6 hours on Low heat setting or until potatoes are tender.
  • 2
    Increase heat setting to High; stir in cream. In small bowl, beat cornstarch and water. Beat cornstarch mixture into soup. Cover; cook about 15 minutes or until bubbly and thickened.

    Add 3 cups Cheddar cheese to slow cooker; stir until melted. Serve soup with remaining ingredients.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Crushed tortilla chips also make a nice garnish to this hearty chowder.
  • tip 2
    Yukon Gold potatoes have a waxy texture that holds up better than russet or baking potatoes, which tend to fall apart in the slow-cooking process.
