Slow Cooker Northern White Bean Bacon Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Place beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
• Place neck bones in a slow cooker and pour chicken broth over the top; stir in soul seasoning.
• Cook on High until meat is falling off the bones, about 1 hour. Transfer bones and meat to a plate and shred meat from bones; discard bones.
• Stir beans, onion, vinegar, sugar, and hot sauce into slow cooker; spread shredded meat over beans.
• Cook on High for 2 to 4 hours (or cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours).

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic until onion is softened.
• Add one can of beans and mash roughly.
• Stir in remaining can of beans, green chilies, corn, carrots, celery, and broth.
• Bring soup to a simmer and stir in the cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
• Combine milk and cornstarch, stirring well.
• Stir the milk mixture into the soup, bringing it gradually to a boil.
• Reduce heat and allow soup to simmer until veggies are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
• Stir in 3/4 c of the cheese, reserving the remainder for use as garnish, and remove from heat.
• Serve garnished with cheese and cilantro.
• Note: I usually serve with some hot sauce on the table for those who like to add some heat.
