Crock pot corn chowder

This recipe is from another cooking blog but I am including the version of it I made here because I had to scale it back to fit it into my 1.5 quart crockpot. The recipe as written is very low in calories and fat, so feel free to top with sour cream, plain yogurt, grated cheese, bacon bits, hot sauce, etc.
