Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chowder Recipe

Being able to throw dinner in the slow cooker and forget about it has got to be one of the best feelings! This Sweet Potato Chowder is full of delicious vegetables making it the perfect meal for your family!

You can also make this meal MEATLESS! Use Vegetable broth, don’t add the bacon, and you are good to go! It will still taste amazing!

Now this recipe calls for whole milk, but if you are looking to make it healthier, go for the skim milk. It won’t make it as creamy, but it don’t change the taste much. I think it is still delicious.

If you don’t like certain vegetables that I put in, you can easily sub them out. One of the easiest things I find to sub into this recipe is normal potatoes! The sweet potatoes and normal ones together taste amazing!

If you have an Instant Pot, but sure to watch our video on our YouTube Channel on how to make it in the Instant Pot!

Do I cook the bacon first?

For this recipe, we do recommend that you cook the bacon first, then add it to the soup. If you don’t, the soup will have a lot of bacon grease in it, and the texture will be a little funny.

You also want to be sure that your bacon is thoroughly cooked through, which is another reason why we recommend cooking it separately first, then adding it.

Notes

To turn this into a freezer meal:

In a gallon-sized freezer bag, combine onion, sweet potato, broccoli, carrots, canned corn, bacon, and seasonings. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Add 4 cups of chicken broth in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top and cook for 5-6 hours on low heat (you can also cook it for 3-4 hours on high heat, but I highly recommend low and slow!). Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
