Chunky Crockpot Vegetable Chowder

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you love broccoli cheese soup, then this crockpot vegetable chowder is right up your alley.  It's an awesome little freezer soup.  Soup?  I guess you can call chowder soup.  Hopefully, the soup police aren't watching.

Vegetable Chowder Freezer Notes

It's also a great freezer meal.  And it really couldn't be easier.  There's not even a separate bag for this one.  You just dump it all in the bag, label and freeze it.  When it's time to cook it you can defrost it overnight OR not.  I did not...it was a run-out-of-time day.  So I tossed the frozen chunk into the crockpot.

 The only difference if you decide to cook a block of frozen stuff (on this recipe at least) is you'll just need to cook it longer.  I set the slow cooker for 5 hours but had to cook it another two for the veggies to be done enough for us to be happy eating it.  So there's a good thing to know if you have to be out all day.  Cook it frozen :)


Make Ahead Meal Prep

This recipe was part of a meal prep session me and a friend had last week.  She took home at least 1 or 2 bags of everything we made and is one of the primary "voters" to make sure something is article worthy for you guys.  Just so you know, we made these to go with...

Anyways, we made 8 Recipes & 56 Meals!  Wait, WAIT...hold the phone!  'Cause I totally and completely did NOT count right at all!  We did better than that. By FAR... How about 110 Crockpot Freezer Meals in 1 afternoon!  I had no idea we pulled that off.  I kept counting and counting and trust me...I counted it 3 times.  But 110 meal in one afternoon!  Here're all the recipes :)
