Slow Cooker Sausage and Potato Chowder #WeekdaySupper

Soups are my favorite thing to eat when the temperatures drop. If they are made in the slow cooker that’s even better. This is pretty much a chop and drop recipe.

Smoked sausage is combined with potatoes, and corn for a filling and easy soup that is delicious served with sour cream cornbread
