Place the diced potatoes, corn, jalapeños, onion, garlic, chicken broth, chili powder, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker. Stir once to distribute the seasonings.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Add the cubed cream cheese and milk. Stir until the cream cheese melts completely and the soup thickens slightly.
Ladle into bowls and top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions.
Notes
Cube the cream cheese before adding it so it melts evenly in the last step. If the soup thickens too much after sitting, stir in a splash of milk when reheating. The green onion garnish adds a mild fresh note that balances the spice without overpowering the corn.Course: Soup
