Very good flavor. I also added some unseasoned, cooked hamburger and an onion to the soup and it turned out great.
Wow – why the high sodium count?
Jamie to answer your question, the sodium is mostly coming from the Butter and the Chicken broth. The rest of the sodium is natural sodium.
That was my reaction as well, Janet. I always do my best to reduce sodium by using, in this situation. no salt butter and low sodium chicken broth.
I made this last night and it was yummy! I’ll make a bigger batch next time.

Can I cook this on high for 3-4 hours?
Hello Erin, yes you can crock on high if you are short on time for 3-4 hours. But it is best if it is crocked on low and slow! Enjoy, and Happy Crocking!
This might be a weird question, but I hate peeling potatoes. Would frozen hash browns work? Or maybe a potato with a really thin skin, like a yukon gold?
My kind of meal!! Love it! Pinned it!!
The picture makes this soup look a lot thicker and creamier. Mine isn’t thick at all. It’s like water. Did I do something wrong?
Sometimes to make a soup thicker you can add a little corn starch and water to thicken it up. Hope this helps! Happy Crocking!
The potatoes have to be cut very small so that they can break down over the 8 hours in order to make it a chowder and not a soup. Otherwise I have made this a few times now and always yummy. I add different seasonings each time too. Good with lots of lemon pepper. Also good with bay leaves and a pinch of dill.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback Kellie! Happy Crocking and Happy Holidays!
