When the snow starts falling and the chill sets in, few things are more comforting than a bowl of warm, creamy soup. This Slow Cooker Amish Snow Day Soup is inspired by the simple, hearty fare of Amish kitchens—nourishing, unfussy, and rich with flavor. It’s the kind of meal you can throw together with pantry staples and let simmer all day while you stay warm and cozy indoors.
This corn chowder gets its signature heartiness from a base of potatoes, sweet corn, and savory bits of ham or bacon, all simmered together in a rich broth. As it cooks, the flavors meld into a satisfying blend of sweet, salty, and creamy notes. Once the milk, cream, and butter are stirred in, the chowder transforms into a silky, comforting bowl that feels both rustic and indulgent.

It’s a recipe designed for slow cooking, making it ideal for snow days, weekends, or any time you want a low-effort meal that tastes like it’s been tended to for hours. The texture is easily adjustable—keep it chunky for a rustic finish or mash a few potatoes into the mix for a thicker, creamier consistency.
Perfect with a chunk of crusty bread or a warm biscuit, this chowder is the ultimate winter meal. It’s filling, family-friendly, and the kind of soup that tastes even better the next day, making it a great option for leftovers.
