Slow Cooker Northern White Bean Bacon Chowder image

This very savory chowder derives it's flavors from a variety of vegetables, Northern white beans, bacon and seasonings all pureed together in a chicken broth base. Best served with herb toast. I use reduced sodium chicken broth.

I'm not a big fan of chowder, but this one was actually pretty good. The bacon and beans gave it a nice smoky flavor, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little more brothy.

This chowder was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional spices.

This chowder is incredible! The flavors are rich and complex, and the beans and bacon give it a hearty, satisfying texture. I especially love the addition of the fresh herbs, which brighten up the dish and give it a nice pop of flavor.
