Slow-Cooker Clam Chowder
Most of the soups that have been shared have been made in the instant pot Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup, Creamy Tomato Basil Soup Instant Pot, Bacon Cheeseburger Instant Pot Soup Low Carb Keto to name a few. However, for a change, thought using the slow cooker/crockpot for this Slow Cooker Clam Chowder would be good. Who doesn't love a crockpot? I love slow-cooking everything and getting the house smelling great. Have you tried Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff or Slow Cooker Apple Spice Dump Cake either will make your house smell wonderful?
Who doesn't love a good hot bowl of New England Clam chowder with some Crusty Bread or Oyster crackers? Maybe even both. Do you know the difference between New England and Manhattan Clam Chowder? Manhattan Style is made with a tomato base, and New England Clam Chowder has a milk or cream base. Do you have a favorite?
Finding the Right Recipe :
Well looking for recipes to make clam chowder, it was surprising to me that most of the recipes had bacon in them. With a daughter and a grandson who doesn't eat pork, that wasn't going to work. Although we are not Catholic, we all know that Friday is clam chowder day everywhere during lent.
The Chowder will last 3-4 days in an airtight container refrigerated.
You can freeze it however I don't think the quality would be quite as good when you thaw it out.
The easiest way is in the microwave for 3-4minutes -stir halfway through. You could also heat on top of the stove in a saucepan. Heat on low/medium heat until hot and bubbly. Stirring often
Certainly could. I would fry and crumble before putting it in the crockpot.
Everyone thought the chowder came out great for my first stab at it. It was easy to throw together and tasted delicious. The soup was full of clams, red potatoes, celery, and onion. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer before dinner or adding a salad and bread or a sandwich and calling it a meal, you will love it. If you are a bacon lover, crumble some on top and I'm sure it would be even better.
