Chicken and corn chowder

Chicken and Corn Chowder 




1 1/2 lb boneless Chicken Breast 
1 cup diced onion
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cups frozen corn kernels
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 can diced tomatoes with chilies
5 tbsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp vegetable soup base
1 to 1 1/2 lb diced potatoes
3 cups water 
1 cup heavy cream ( can omit to reduce calories - more like a soup then)

For freezer meal, place everything except the potatoes, water, and cream in a gallon freezer bag.  Place in a second bag - freeze.   To prepare, thaw overnight in the frig. To cook, place bag contents, potatoes and water in slow cooker - 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high.  May need a little more time if it is still partially frozen when you put it in the slow cooker.

When cooked, stir in heavy cream if you are using it.  

Serve with sour cream, diced avocado and/or cilantro.
