Easy Seafood Chowder {crock pot}

To die for Seafood Chowder recipe! During the winter months, I love to use our crock pot. It’s so much easier to throw everything in the crock pot in the morning and just turn it on for a few hours. By the end of the day, I am usually exhausted or plain old lazy.  Seafood chowder is a favorite in our home and this time I used white cooking wine which really gave the chowder an extra kick. It was yummy! It received rave reviews from my mom and dad ;).

Ingredients

  • 3 cans evaporated milk
  • 24 oz chicken broth container (or canned)
  • 1/2 stick butter or margarine
  • 2 cups white cooking white
  • 3 cans chopped clams (drained)
  • 2 cans tiny shrimp (drained)
  • 1 package frozen(dethawed) or fresh shrimp (about 25 count)
  • 1 can corn (drained)
  • 3-4 large potatoes (diced)
  • 2 carrots shredded and chopped (or buy already shredded carrots and chop into small pieces)
  • 1-2 celery stalk Chopped to small pieces (optional)
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • Corn Starch (optional / to thicken broth)

Instructions

  1. Add all the liquids to the crockpot and stir
  2. Mix in garlic, salt, pepper and butter
  3. Add shrimp, clams, corn, potatoes, celery and carrots
  4. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until potatoes and celery are soft
  5. The last 30 minutes or once chowder is done, use corn starch and water to thicken the broth if desired. I didn't have corn starch so I mixed 1/2 cup flour with 1 cup warm water and thickened broth slightly buy slowly pouring flour mixture into crock pot. I prefer corn starch but flour will do the trick as well. Follow the directions on the corn starch box to get the thickness you desire.

Doesn’t this chowder look delicious? My mom has the best bread maker but unfortunately, she didn’t have time to make any so she picked up a fresh loaf of french country bread and it was perfect for dipping. We are big on bread in our family.

If you don’t have a crockpot, get one! I love seafood chowder and cooking it in the crockpot is so easy. Next week, I plan on trying a new potato chowder recipe that my grandmother loves. She cooks hers on the stovetop but I think I may try the crockpot.

  3. That sounds great, have you ever tried adding any other seafood to it like crab, fish, etc. to give it more protein or just play with the flavor?

  5. I made this last night, but my husband and I added cod, crab and some scallops and it did turn out pretty tasty. But, for just 2 of us, this made a TON of chowder, and leftovers with fish don't last too long in my experience, even if you freeze it. My only big complaints would be that first, I wasn't sure if I had the right size can of evaporated milk (I see it in the comments, but it really should be updated in the ingredient list), and adding the cornstarch at the end did not go well. My box did not say how much to add (to anything, really) in order to thicken, like your instructions suggested it would. I added some about a 1/4 cup at a time, because I had no other instruction, and it didn't really thicken that much. And unfortunately, the cornstarch just thickened in clumps, so every so often, you'd bite into a "nugget" of cornstarch. I would make this again, but I think I'd have to play around with the milk amount, and I've got to figure out a better way to thicken it... we like our seafood chowder very thick!
