The only refinement I made was using sourdough bread instead of plain white bread. My husband requested steak with blue cheese for his birthday dinner, and he absolutely loved this.

I tried this and liked it so much, I wanted to make it again, but didn't have time to do anything other than use a slow cooker. I did not put in the butter, substituted onion powder for the onions (I don't like onions anyway, but onion powder is okay)and added frozen potatoes. Also, both times I used 2 cans of regular corn (not cream). At some point in the process, when the slow cooker had heated up a bit, I took some of the liquid out and stirred in some cornstarch (instead of flour - I have a wheat allergy), then poured the liquid back into the pot. It thickened up nicely. Both times I loved this chowder. Next time, for my husband, I'll put some sausage in.
