A thin cream-based slow-cooker chowder recipe full of smoked Alaskan salmon, clams, crab, and plenty of dill. Serve with oyster crackers and warm bread and butter, and lots of beer.
Ready in: 7 hours

Ingredients

Serves: 20

• 1 (2-quart) can chicken broth
• 2 cups water + 2 cubes chicken bullion
• 1 bottle dark beer
• 10 carrots, peeled, 1/2” chop
• 1 can corn, drained
• 2 filets smoked Alaskan salmon, flaked (hot smoked, not “lox style”)
• 1 can chopped clams, with juice
• 1 can chopped crabmeat, with juice
• 1/2 pound bacon, 1/2” chop
• 2 yellow onions, sliced
• 6-8 stalks celery, 1/2” chop
• 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• cayenne pepper
• dill weed (fresh, if available)
• bay leaves
• salt/fresh ground pepper
• paprika
• 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed (1/2-inch inch)
• 3 cups half and half or heavy cream

Preparation method

Prep: 1 hour | Cook: 6 hours

1. Add all liquid ingredients except cream to large (6-qt) crock pot. Add bullion, carrots, corn, salmon, clams (+ juice), crab (+ juice) to crock pot as well.
2. In large frying pan, fry bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and drain, leaving 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in pan. Add bacon to crock pot. Fry onions, celery, mushrooms, and garlic in bacon drippings until golden brown. Add to crock pot.
3. Add seasonings to taste. Turn crock pot to high and cover. Cook on high for approximately 6 hours. Chowder should be ready to finish when carrots are just tender (should not be mushy).
4. In separate pan, cover potatoes with cold water. Cover and bring to a boil. Boil for 7 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Remove from heat, drain, and run under cold water. Fill pan with cold water and soak potatoes in cold water to stop residual cooking. When cold, drain, cover, and set aside.
5. Microwave the potatoes to bring up to temp. Add to crock pot. Mix and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
6. In a glass/plastic measuring cup, microwave 2-3 cups of cream until warm. Add to the crock pot and mix. Taste and adjust seasoning again, if necessary.
