Slow Cooker Clam Chowder Recipe

Slow Cooker Crockpot Clam Chowder

Fall is in full-swing and a steaming bowl of soup or chowder can be a great way to end the day. This Slow Cooker Clam Chowder is easy, full of flavor and not too heavy as chowders can sometimes be.

To save time in the morning, you can fry up the bacon, onion and garlic the night before. A little of this chowder goes a long way in terms of filling you up – so we had lots of extra, which I plan to freeze for future dinners.

INGREDIENTS

4 strips of bacon
Maybe a few extra if you like to garnish your chowder

1 medium onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 small cans of clams, undrained
I really like Bar Harbor All Natural Chopped Clams, 6.5-Ounce Cans (Amazon link). If you buy 12 cans through subscribe and save it’s as low as $2.22 a can. Amazon prices can change.
(If you are a Costco shopper, use about half of large can from Costco, freeze the rest)

3 carrots, diced

6 celery stalks, diced

1 medium red potato, diced
I added two. I love potatoes in soup.

4 cups chicken or veggie broth

1/2 – 1 tsp ground thyme

sale and pepper to taste

1/2 cup half and half

1/4 cup hot water

4 tb corn starch

HOW TO PREPARE

1.) Fry up your bacon – drain, reserving 2 tb of drippings

2.) Saute the onion and garlic in the bacon drippings until golden.

3.) Dump everything up to the spices in your 4- to 5-quart slow cooker and stir it all up.

4.) Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 5 hours.

5.) Half an hour before you plan to eat, dump in the half and half, stir it up and replace the lid.

6.) 15 minutes before you plan to eat, combine the hot water and corn starch and add to the crockpot. Stir it and crank the slow cooker to high if it’s not already there. Don’t put the lid back on.

7.) Enjoy!

Need a Slow Cooker? I’ve found the best places to look are Costco and Amazon in terms of price and quality.  See all the current slow cookers available on Amazon at this time.

What they’re saying

Queen Bee has been my go to for many years. Not only how to save on the family grocery budget. But, how to shop. From grocerys to clothes to household. She has saved us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars cumulatively over the years. Thank You! Debby F.

Queen Bee has been one of my favorite pages to follow! A friend kept sharing her deals so I had to start following and I’m so glad I did. I have been able to purchase so many items at great prices because of her posts. She is great about commenting back to questions or even just saying thanks to people who let her know they picked up an item she posted! Christine R.

Queen Bee is an amazing site with great deals no doubt, but my favorite parts are the snippets of silliness, morning coffee, amazing second hand finds. Queen Bee has saved me lots of money, but it's also brightened many a days! Tilla H.

Queen bee has helped me to make Christmas awesome for my kids every year. We follow the blog and are able to stay in budget and get twice as many items for the family. They are the best!! Jessica T.

Can always count on QueenBee for great deals from many different stores ! She's always keeping us well informed, saved a lot throughout the years, been following for a good 7 years ! Cathy L.
