When it comes to hearty, soul-warming dishes, few can rival a comforting bowl of potato chowder<\/a>. This creamy concoction, rich with the earthy flavors of potatoes and savory bacon, is a tried-and-true classic that promises to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Plus, the Crockpot does most of the work here, offering convenience without sacrificing flavor. Slow cookers<\/a> are a game-changer for busy days, especially when you get to come home to the inviting aroma of creamy potato chowder that’s been simmering away all day.<\/p>\n Perfect for cozy weeknight meals<\/a> or gatherings where a hungry crowd is involved (we’re looking at you, game day), this easy potato chowder recipe is a winner every time.<\/p>\n In a 5-quart slow cooker, combine the diced potatoes, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, chopped onion and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until the potatoes are fork-tender.<\/p>\n Add the cream cheese, gently stirring until everything is blended and well combined.<\/p>\n Before serving, top each bowl of chowder with crispy bacon bits and chives, if desired.<\/p>\n Given that this is a dairy-laden soup, you’ll want to transfer any leftovers to sealed storage containers and place them in the fridge so they don’t spoil sitting out. If you plan on freezing the rest of the soup, it’s also a good idea to mark your storage containers or zip-top bags with a date, so you’ll know how long the chowder is good for.<\/p>\n Speaking of peak freshness, potato chowder will last for up to five days in the fridge, or up to three months in the freezer.<\/p>\n Bring the soup to a slow simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until it’s cooked through. Be careful not to boil the soup though, or the high-fat ingredients may start to separate. Top with your favorite garnishes and dig in (again)!<\/p>\n Potato soups tend to be on the thinner side, while potato chowder is thicker, chunkier and studded with potatoes, onions and creamy ingredients.<\/p>\n Add a little cornstarch slurry to the chowder. You can make one on the fly by whisking a teaspoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder into water or broth, then slowly adding it to the pot until your chowder thickens up.<\/p>\n Perhaps you need a little heat or more spices. A few dashes of Cajun seasoning, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, a few shakes of hot sauce\u2014all these additions will boost the flavor profile of this soup big time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s no topping a savory potato chowder on a chilly day, especially if it’s garnished with crispy bacon bits and chopped chives.
