Kay's Cook All Day Crockpot Corn Chowder

I don't know many people who don't like corn, so when it is cold and dreary outside, warm and comfort yourself with this hardy and super easy corn chowder. 


8 slices of bacon, fried
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium bell pepper, diced
2 ribs of celery, diced
1 pound ham, cubed  (you can use smoked sausage instead or no meat but bacon)
1 16-ounce package of frozen whole kernel corn or 1 can of whole kernel corn, drained
2 cans cream-style corn
2 Tablespoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2  teaspoon smoky paprika
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken broth (more or less--see directions)
1 can 12-ounce can evaporated milk 
1/2 stick butter
Shredded cheese, sour cream and green onions to top bowls with crumbled bacon (optional)


 Spray large crock pot with cooking spray.  Add potatoes, onion, bell pepper, celery, ham, all corn, bay leaf, parsley, thyme, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.  Pour in chicken broth until it covers and barely rises above ingredients.  Cook on low for 5 hours.  In the meantime, cook bacon and break  6 slices into 1/2 inch pieces and add to crock pot after 5 hours. The other two slices of bacon will be used to top the bowls of chowder.  Cook 3 more hours on low.  Add butter and evaporated milk 30 minutes prior to serving.  Top bowls with crumbled bacon and/or cheese, green onions, and sour cream.
