Imagine coming home on a crisp, chilly evening to the warmth of your home filled with the comforting aroma of Potato Chowder that has been slowly bubbling away in the slow cooker. Originally from the maritime provinces on the East Coast, potato chowder is a thick and hearty soup that’s been filling up families forever. In my house, it’s the go-to when we need something satiating, cozy, and easy to prep in the morning before a busy day. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just looking for leftovers to last through the workweek, this Slow Cooker Potato Chowder is a dream come true for a hands-off, delicious meal that feels like a hug in a bowl.
This chowder pairs wonderfully with a crusty loaf of bread for dunking, or a fresh green salad to add a light, crunchy contrast to the creamy richness of the soup. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, sprinkle on some crispy bacon or sharp cheddar cheese as a garnish, and maybe a little chive or green onion for a pop of color and freshness.
