Crock Pot Recipe for Clam Chowder
What’s not to like? The creamy taste of clams and potatoes and of course the fact that it’s a slow cooker recipe makes it high on my list!
Clam Chowder is one of my families favorites. We don’t live far from the ocean, about an hour and a half, so we try to get over there at least once a year. Having Mo’s Clam Chowder in Cannon Beach Oregon for dinner is a tradition. I can’t wait to try this for a home version.
Soups and chowders are great crockpot meals to make all year long.
Often I think of soups as just a winter food, but really, we eat them well into June. I prefer a piece of crusty bread, along with a salad and I’ve got myself a delicious meal, and healthy! And they’re always better the next day, right?
