How to Make Hearty Black Bean Chowder Crock Pot

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 1 tablespoon olive oil for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. Stir in 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen) and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper.
  4. Cook on low for 8-9 hours, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
  5. During the last 20-30 minutes of cooking, increase the heat to high to allow the chowder to thicken slightly.
