Crockpot Fish Chowder

I decided to make something out of the fish I had on had this week so this is what I came up with.  Next time for sure I would add more potatoes & carrots and cut my fish in bigger size pieces.  But like with each recipe you learn from it and do different next time.  It had an awesome flavor, especially the next day.  So here goes:

Remember I tweet a lot and make things my own, so I will give you the original along with my own.

4 slices of bacon

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic

6 cups of chicken broth ( I used 4 cups and 2 cups of water)

1 cup of corn (I didn't have so I used peas)

2 large potatoes (I used 5 medium, and I could have used more)

celery (I didn't have)

2 large carrots ( I used 4)

pepper

1 cup scallops

1 cup uncooked med shrimp (I didn't have shrimp, so I used haddock)

1 can of can milk

I added 1 can of boneless skinless salmon.

 

Cook bacon, drain excess grease. Cook & stir onion and garlic into bacon until tender.

Pour chicken stock into slow cooker. Mix corn, potatoes, celery & carrots into stock.

Season with Pepper & red pepper flakes. (I used S&P)

Cook on high for 3 hours

The next part I precooked a little in my fry pan. I put a little oil in pan and added scallops, haddock and can of salmon (or used fresh)

Add to vegetables. Cook 1 more hour.

Add a can of evaporated milk and heat through and serve.

Oh yum.

 

Adding the potatoes to the broth.

 

I love my new Rachael Ray fry pan my family gave me :)

 

I used the fish I had on hand, you can use whatever you like.

 

Looking good!

 

Auh, supper. Along with my homemade cornbread which I will share also!
