Slow Cooker Potato Chowder

I love this potato chowder. Year round, we eat it at least once a month.

To make our mornings easier, we prepare our potato chowed the night before we want to eat it.

We do all of the dicing, chopping, and mixing, and then put the mixture into the removable crock for our largest Crock Pot. Joe puts the crock in the fridge or out on the porch (when it’s cold enough). In the morning, all he needs to do is set the crock in the Crock Pot and turn it on.

When we all get home, we put the cream cheese in, set the table, and eat.

Slow Cooker Potato Chowder
Ingredients
  • 10 cups raw potatoes, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2-3 carrots, chopped
  • A couple of handfuls of frozen corn kernels
  • Any other veggies you like and have on hand – cauliflower works really well because it disappears, but use whatever you have)
  • 3 14-ounce cans of fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 oz fat-free cream cheese
Instructions
  1. In a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker, mix diced potatoes, all vegetables, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and pepper.
  2. Cook 8-10 hours on low.
  3. Add cream cheese and cook another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Top with chopped scallions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar.

Sounds yummy! You can saute the onions first to get a little extra flavor.

I love crockpot meals. I really like that you can do all the work the night before. I don't always have the time in the morning to do all that peeling and chopping!

Oh, Christy. We so rarely have time to do anything in the morning. We're lucky if we all get out the door and in the car and buckled, etc. ;)
