3. Slow Cooker New England Clam Chowder
Smoky bacon, buttery potatoes, and juicy clams? Hello, yes please.
If it is game day, you need to put this dreamy dish in a bread bowl for the full effect, but crackers on top work just fine for supper.
The creamy goodness speaks for itself!

It is so easy and so delicious.

Silky, smooth, and very rich? This is the show-stopping soup you make when the boss drops by or the in-laws are in town.

Cajun food has a special place in my belly.
This gumbo is an insanely irresistible mix of spicy sausage, plump shrimp, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
