Ugly Fotos this time but a great meal! This is the Seafood Chowder we had for Dinner yesterday. 3 hours in the slow cooker made hearty, aromatic, fragrant and filling meal. Almost no work at all, easily available ingredients and a simple recipe. We’ll definitely do that again! Trust me: Do try this at home!

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon, chopped 
1 onion, chopped 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
6 cups chicken stock 
1 cup fresh corn kernels 
2 large potatoes, diced 
3 stalks celery, diced 
2 large carrots, diced 
ground black pepper to taste 
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 cup scallops 
1 cup uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 
1/4 pound halibut, cut into bite-size pieces 
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk 
Croutons for garnish 

Preparation:

Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned, 5 to 8 minutes; drain excess grease. Cook and stir onion and garlic into bacon until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker. 

Pour chicken stock into slow cooker. Mix corn, potatoes, celery, and carrots into the stock. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes. Set the cooker to High, cover, and cook for 3 hours. 

Stir scallops, shrimp, and halibut into the soup and cook 1 more hour. Stir evaporated milk into chowder, heat thoroughly, garnish and serve.
