Method
 

  1. Chop the potatoes and onions into even-sized pieces.

  3. Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the potatoes are tender.

Notes

If the chowder is too thick, add a bit more broth. For a thicker texture, mash some of the potatoes directly in the slow cooker. You can also customize this recipe with different proteins or make it vegetarian by skipping the meat.
