I have never been a big seafood lover. Clam chowder is about as crazy as it gets for me! I love using my slow cooker for soup in the winter so the house smells good and I have a hot meal ready by dinnertime. Mmm Mm Mm!

What size cream of mushroom soup do I use for this recipe?

My husband hates mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup. What can I substitute?
-
when do I add the bacon? And I would assume it's already cooked? Making it today for Super Bowl!
-
I'm planning to put this in the slow cooker tomorrow and was going over my recipe just now and realized I only bought 3 cans (??? who knows) of clams instead of the 4 listed. Is it critical if I'm *short* a can of clams? I can certainly get another can, just didn't know if it would make or break it!

would this be ok to cook on low for 7-8 hours?

I want to print this recipe but your website takes too long to load....I've been on it for 5 minutes and it's still loading. Way too many ads! I've tried it with different browsers as well with no luck. Sad. I like your recipes but I want to print them so I see the whole thing at once.

What size Crockpot/slow cooker did you use for this recipe please?

Would this fit in a 4 qt slow cooker?
-
Wait so do we add the half and half in at hour 3? at hour 4? Because you say total cook time is 4 hours but then you say cook for 4 hours and then add halfback and half and cook for an additional hour. That would make total cook home 5 hours.

I was wondering the same thing! Total cooking time 4 hours but recipe says to cook 4 hours, then add half and half and cook additional 1 hour. That would make total cooking time 5 hours

If I double the recipe do I need to increase cook time

I made this tonight. I thought it was pretty good, but I will tweak it next time around. I will add Italian panna, as I think it will thicken it a bit more, and I would also go lighter on the basil and thyme (probably less than 1/2 teaspoon, as it was overpowering). Otherwise, cooking time and everything was spot on.
