Categories     Chowders

Time 6h5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can New England clam chowder
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans minced clams
1 quart half-and-half cream
1 pint heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mix cream of celery soup, cream of potato soup, clam chowder, 1 can undrained clams, 1 can drained clams, half-and-half cream, and whipping cream into a slow cooker.
  • Cover, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams if possible. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams are very delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Use a good quality clam juice. Clam juice is an important ingredient in clam chowder, so be sure to use a good quality brand. Look for clam juice that is made from fresh clams and that has a clear, briny flavor.
  • Add vegetables to your chowder. Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and texture to clam chowder. You can also add other vegetables, such as corn, peas, or bell peppers.
  • Season your chowder to taste. Clam chowder should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk to make the chowder richer.

Conclusion:

Clam chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. By following these tips, you can make a foolproof crockpot clam chowder that your family and friends will love.
