Today’s slow cooker recipe is a soup that utilizes Progresso’s new Recipe Starter. This recipe specifically uses the roasted garlic flavor. I was excited to try them out when I saw them at the store. Plus, they happen to be on sale for $1.50 and then I had a 50 cents off coupon. Well worth trying for $1. My oldest son especially loved this one. I can pretty much get the boys in my house to eat about anything if there is bacon involved.

Mmmm…I love bacon and corn chowder and this recipe sounds sooo good! Gotta make some! Thanks for sharing it.
I thought this recipe looked familiar! I saw this recipe on Taste and Tell awhile back and have it bookmarked to make! I think I will defiantly have to make it soon!
So glad you posted this! I bought a couple of cans when they were first introduced to our local market and had no idea of what to make with them.
