Simple Slow Cooker Recipe for Southwestern Green Chile Corn Chowder – a New Mexico Favorite!

Green Chile Corn Chowder
Serves 12
Yes, it is that time of year here in New Mexico, green chile is roasting around every corner. I love, love the smell of it. And I love the fresh ristras hanging at every chile stand. It really feels like home. I already bought my green chile for the season. My husband had a grand idea, he roasted garlic and bagged the garlic with the green chile, before sticking it in the freezer. Ted, brilliant, simply brilliant. Now I will have roasted garlic for my recipes as I use my green chile. Roasted garlic is more subtle and adds a depth of flavor to our southwestern dishes. I will post the process for you soon. I do look forward to this time of year especially after what seems the hottest summer on record. I am so ready for these 50 and 60 degree early morning temperatures. I am a native New Mexican and when I hear of people say, well it is a dry heat, I want to scream. It is a dry heat but it is still heat. 100 plus degrees for nearly six weeks this summer did me in. My poor garden and yard really suffered and my water bill was through the roof. I love our state, but God knows I wish it would rain more. If you haven’t check out my Home and Garden page take a look, that is where I post my garden images. I hope you enjoy this recipe and until next time – Bon Appetit, Cecelia

Fall flowers are blooming away in my garden. I love this time of year. It is great to be outdoors, the weather is perfect. It is in the low 80's for a high in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Absolutely perfect weather. I can ask for much more. Feeling blessed.

  1. I made your green chile corn chowder over the weekend. I didn’t use my crockpot, just a big pot on the stove. It was delicious! Thanks.
