A thick filling chowder. Perfect for a cold day.
If preferred, cook 3 to 4 hours on High.
Very fast and easy way to make potato soup without peeling and chopping and unlike the previous reviewer, mine was so thick I had to add milk to it before I served it. I added crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar and green onions as a garnish before serving.
Read MoreThe idea is great, although I thought the chowder was bland. We had to add salt to it in order to eat it. And the hash brown potatoes just went mushy. When I try this again, I plan to use chicken broth instead of the vegetable, and add bacon or ham cubes for interest, and use tater tots instead of the hash browns. And I probably won't cook it as long; I think that contributed to the mushiness. And maybe more whole kernel corn. I didn't think there was nearly enough corn in it.

This soup had a great flavor. It was not thick like a chowder should be though. I added 1 cup of instant potato flakes to thicken it up. My family enjoyed this.
I used fresh Yukon golds (diced) and homemade chicken broth (yay, Instapot) because of what I had on hand, and omitted the celery based on my family’s preference. Whole family, even those who are not dairy fans or soup fans, enjoyed it. No leftovers and lots of compliments. A good comfort food to add to the rotation (especially during the 2019 polar vortex winter!).
Soup was pretty good.... I wish I chopped the onion finer and used less cause the onion was a little over powering. I added a little cayenne pepper to give it a little spice. Topped it off with chives, soft cream and bacon!
I used a whole onion and 2 potatoes instead of hash browns. I too found it really bland and added salt and bacon to it.
