There’s nothing better than a bowl of hot soup on a chilly night, and our easy slow cooker fish chowder recipe is no exception. And it’s as flexible as it is hearty, so feel free to add in corn, diced carrots, and chopped celery - or whatever veggies you have lurking in the back of your fridge. We also love to add our smoked trout for a hint of smokiness, just be sure to add it in 30 minutes before serving.
Ingredients
-
2 pounds fresh fish fillets (cod, black cod, catfish, tilapia, etc.)

Directions
