Crock Pot Corn Chowder

I had this recipe planned for one of those days where my husband and I were merely ships passing in the night. We got home hours apart and both had several commitments. I prepared the Crock Pot and he stirred in the dairy when he got home, leaving the Crock Pot on low for me. We did not puree the chowder as directed, so it was more of a chunky soup.
