Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 bratwurst links casings removed
- 4 ears corn kernels removed and scraped*
- 6 cups chicken broth or stock
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- oyster crackers optional, for garnish
- parsley fresh, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Turn crockpot onto high to start getting warm.
- In a large skillet, saute onions and garlic in butter over medium heat until tender and brown. Pour into warm crockpot.
- Place skillet back on the heat and cook sausage completely breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease and add to crockpot with onions.
- Stir in corn, chicken broth and spices. Cover and cook in crockpot on high for 4-4 1/2 hours.
- Whisk heavy cream and flour together until smooth (I just threw it into my blender). Pour this into crockpot mixture to help thicken the chowder. Cook another 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve hot with oyster crackers and fresh parsley.

Notes
- *For the corn: I cut all the kernels off the cob, then use the back of my knife to scrape out the insides + the milk.
