Ingredients
  • 2 cans clams, undrained
  • 1 lb small cooked shrimp (can use canned or raw) Frugal Cooks Note: use a half-pound of shrimp, & cut each into 2 or 3 pieces before adding them to the chowder.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of potato soup
  • 1 tsp garlic (powder or minced)
  • 2 T minced or dried onion
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup celery
  • 1 tsp creole seasoning (mesquite seasoning works beautifully too. Cajun would be good.)
  • 8 oz frozen corn
  • 1/2 lb frozen scallops (optional)
  • 1 or 2 small frozen fish fillets (opt.) (no need to thaw - or put everything else in 1st, by then it's thawed enough to cut into pieces)

Directions
  1. Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Combine all ingredients except shrimp, mix well.
  2. (if using fish or scallops, put them in with everything else)
  3. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours
  4. Add shrimp
  5. Cook an additional 15 minutes or so, to heat through.
  6. Notes:
  7. If you used a whole fish fillet, flake before serving.
  8. If you need to make a ton of chowder, use 2 cans each of cream of chicken & cream of potato. No need to increase the other ingredients - it still comes out great.

Love it!


Easy and let me clear out my freezer! Bag of frozen corn, onions and bell peppers sauteed in a little butter first, used bottled clam juice instead of 1/2 & 1/2 when mixing up the two cream soups prior to adding, and was able to use up some frozen shrimp, tilapia, and scallops,(skipped the clams. Substituting cream of shrimp soup for cream of chicken enhanced the seafood flavors (I had it in the pantry - so in it went!) It wasn't too rich and the clam juice lightened the creamy aspect which was good with just the 2 cream soups, and the seafood just sang! Great hot lunch!


This is simple and looks great!! I'm gonna try this on a rush night...along with some fresh crusty Rye bread!! yum


Nice! JJ


I'm bookmarking for winter!


I love sea food chowders thank you.


Made it yesterday and enjoyed it last evening. Just a comment for others making this for the first time... As it cooks, a brown deposit tends to form around the edge of the crock. Just periodically scrape it off and let it blend into the chowder. The scrapings add flavor and color to the chowder. It is a delicious meal. I used a lb of cod that I steamed and flaked before adding to the crockpot.


Thanks for the compliment, Rottman. The scrapings do add a lot of flavor, and bacon is a great idea. But you don't have to cook the fish first. I've added a frozen fish fillet to this plenty of times. Just throw it in and you can shred it at the end. Or you can slice it; frozen fish slices easily.


This looks like an recipe that my friends would love.5 forks.
