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 ;).
Seafood Chowder Recipe
Save RecipeIngredients
- 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
- Add all the liquids to the crockpot and stir
- Mix in garlic, salt, pepper and butter
- Add shrimp, clams, corn, potatoes, celery and carrots
- Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until potatoes and celery are soft
- 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.
