Day 2 of the slow cooker challenge was Sunday October 17th. It was a chilly fall day and so and I opted for a big ole' pot of Clam Chowder to warm us up! Not the Manhattan Style, although I love it - but the creamy New England style. With a couple of added twists of my own.... of course! I hope you enjoy.
Slow Cooker Clam Chowder - New England Style
Ingredients:
3 - 5 oz cans of baby clams WITH juice
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can condensed cream of celery soup
2 soup cans (10 oz of chicken broth - approx. 2.5 cups)
1 cup milk
6-8 strips of bacon, diced
1 cup of whole kernel corn (canned or frozen)
3 small potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 stalks celery diced
1 small onion diced
3 bay leaves
2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
In a skillet fry bacon until crisp, removing with slotted spoon and placing on paper towel. Pat thoroughly with more paper towel to absorb any excess grease, as too much may cause the milk to curdle.
Peel and dice vegetables as necessary. In a 3-5 quart slow cooker combine all of the ingredients, including spices and stir to combine. Set slow cooker to low for 4-5 hours. Serve with crusty bread for dipping if desired.
Enjoy!
