Slow Cooker Corn Chowder

This is a family favorite/standard for me. Simple soup I can make in the slow cooker and finish up right before dinner with great flavor. The coriander really gives it something I think.

I forgot to take a picture, probably because I was so hungry and its a standard recipe to cook. Ooops!
