The past couple of days have been cold and rainy here in southern Virginia. While I did embrace summer this year, I am kind of glad that it’s starting to cool off. While rain isn’t normally my weather of choice I think I’ll take a few days of rain to help me unwind and relax.
We’ve had a rough couple of days around here and we all just need some time to stay in our PJs, curl up on the couch, binge watch TV and indulge in comfort foods like this Slow Cooker Loaded Potato and Shrimp Chowder.
My slow cooker has been
getting a workout lately and I don’t see it getting a break anytime soon. I try to use my slow cooker year round but I have to admit that I use it a lot more during the cooler months. The slow cooker on the counter with dinner simmering away always warms up the evening.
The taste is amazing but we also love them because Simply Potatoes are:
– Fresh, never frozen- Located in the refrigerated dairy section
– Easy to prepare and have on hand – no peeling/shredding required
– Made with real ingredients
Thomas and I have been buying Simply Potatoes for a while now. Normally we just cook them and serve them alongside of breakfast or brunch. I love the STEAKHOUSE Seasoned Diced Potatoes and Thomas is normally a huge fan of the hashbrowns.
But today we’re going to change it up a bit. I’m going to use these STEAKHOUSE Seasoned Diced Potatoes for a homemade Slow Cooker Loaded Potato and Shrimp Chowder.
This is a pretty easy slow cooker meal and it would be perfect for lunch or dinner. It hardly takes anytime to throw this chowder together and it’s always a hit!
I added some tiny salad shrimp to this chowder because I personally love shrimp and it’s a great bit of protein added to the chowder.
If you don’t like shrimp just leave it out. I promise that I won’t tell.

I think this is my husband’s favorite soup he hasn’t even had it yet lol. I will have to make this for him! My favorite simply potatoes product is the shredded potato because my dad used to make them as hashbrowns every Saturday morning growing up with a big breakfast 🙂
I love the shredded simply potatoes!
I love being able to get cubed potatoes that you don’t have to peel and chop yourself!
This chowder sounds yummy! I am terrible about using our slow cooker and this might be the recipe to force me to get it out from under the stairs! Thanks, Angie. PS – definitely adding the shrimp!
I’m always amazed at how much you can make in a slow cooker. I’d love a bowl of this.
It has been raining here too. I could use a bowl of this.
Using the simply potatoes in this chowder is such a brilliant shortcut! It sounds really tasty, too.
I love chowders when the weather starts cooling down! Love the addition of shrimp!
THhs chowder looks and sounds deeeelicious! And yogurt?? Who would have thought! My SIL introduced me to SImply Potatoes years ago, she makes the BEST potato casserole with it. It’s her signature recipe…and every time I see it, I am excited & filled with dread…because its so good I can never stop eating it, lol!
Sometimes a nice big bowl of soup (especially one that looks this delicious), is the thing you need to get over some bad times. I think I need a big old bowl of your soup right now!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Simply Potatoes. They are so good and of course make cooking just a little bit easier. Love the idea of making a slow cooker soup out of them and of course adding shrimp is the best decision ever.
I’ve never used Simply Potatoes but this recipe looks like a fantastic way to try them!
I am adding this recipe to my arsenal – it looks simply yummy! I have used the Simply Potatoes brand in other recipes and I love the quality, taste and ease of using them.
I love them all but the diced potatoes with onions are my fav. So quick and easy and can be used in so many receipes.
I love the idea of using it in soup. With simply potatoes I really like the onions in the mixture.
First let me say, this recipe sounds amazing and I’m most definitely adding it to my list of soups to try this winter! 🙂
Now as far as my favorite Simply Potatoes product goes… Well, I have never met a potato I didn’t like, so I can I say all of them? haha I have to admit, I use Simply Potatoes hash browns quite a bit! I have at least a few dozen recipes that call for hash browns and I don’t always have the time (or the will it may be) to make them myself, so I tend to just grab a bag of Simply Potatoe hash browns from the freezer section instead 🙂 They cost a teensy bit more than the store brands, but there is just something about them that tastes better so I’m willing to spend a little bit more!
My family loves any of the Simply Potato potatoes mixed with eggs for breakfast. Your chowder recipes sounds delicious.
Love crock pot cooking 0
The Southwest Style Hash Browns are my fav! Love to serve them with eggs or add some turkey sausage topped with cheddar cheese.
I love the shredded potatoes the best!
I love the regular hash browns. So yummy and easy
I love them all, my husband loves hashbrowns too, so we get them the most around here. I’m definitely trying your recipe, thanks for sharing.
I looks good. Can not decide!
I love the seasoned steak potatoes that you use in this recipe and the the shredded ones. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love them all!
I like all of them so easy to cook with them
This looks delicious! I love using seasoned potatoes for breakfast.

My favorite is the Shredded Hash Browns. And at Thanksgiving…I use the mashed potatoes.
The Shredded Hash Browns are my favorite. So easy to make hashbrown cassarole!
I love this recipe. Can’t wait to try it.
I have never tried any of them, but the hash brown look delish!
We LOVE Simply potatoes! I have used almost all of them from breakfast to supper! I can’t decided between the garlic mashed or the hash browns as to which is our favorite!
I have never tried Simply Potatoes but will try to find then ASAP to try this Chowder it looks amazing!
I love using the diced potatoes in breakfast casseroles & burritos =)
I love the O’brien hash browns, can’t beat that with a fried egg
I like the hash browns. They are great for when we decide to do “breakfast for dinner” 🙂 My whole family loves them.
I love making the shredded hash browns. Matter of fact I made them yesterday with eggs and toeast. Yummy!!!!
I have always liked the regular mashed potatoes.
I love hash browns
We love Simply hash browns, they make it so easy on the days the kids want breakfast for dinner and it wouldn’t be breakfast for dinner without hash browns to counteract the pancakes, french toast and bacon!
We use the hash browns frequently. I have liked your page forever and Simply potatoes too!
Honey, if it’s a potato, I love it. If it’s already cut up for me, I love it even more.
I need a slow cooker! I’ve been wanting one forever!
These are they only type of hasbrowna my kids will eat!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe!!
I love the hash browns for easy weekend breakfasts. I like it even more when Aldi’s occasionally carries them 🙂
This recipe sounds absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to try it for dinner tomorrow night. Thank you so much for always having such awesome giveaways and sharing so much with your followers! You are amazing!!!
I have never tried Simply Potatoes but they sure sound good in this recipe.
Hash browns are my favorite!
We are a hash brown loving family here, so those are definitely our favorite product. However, the steakhouse potatoes sound amazing!
Their Traditional Mashed Potatoes are my favorite!
This recipe is making me drool! YUMMY! I love their hash browns. So easy and delicious to make.
I too love the hashbrowns, but I am committed to trying to cook more and eat out less! These crockpot recipes look great; I am thinking of cooking them while at work, so I do not have to waist what precious little time is left of my evening cooking. I would much rather spend that time with my boys and pets. Any ideas or dishes/meals that travel well or tips for a noncook are appreciated. I’m trying to avoid overly processed meals high in sodium as well, btw.
This looks amazing! I love loaded potato and corn chowder, so I’m definitely trying this one!
I love the Simply Potato Hashbrowns.
I’ve loved the Hashbrowns for quite a while, but I’m become a recent fan of the Traditional Mashed Potatoes. My Dad is staying with us recovering from surgery, and he wants meat and potatoes every. single. day. In a fit of irritation after yet another request for mashed potatoes, I decided to try Simply Potato instead of making them from scratch.
He didn’t notice any difference. Glory hallelujah, no more peeling potatoes for me!
Love this recipe!
Perfect for Fall – Simply Potatoes and chowder!
Love their hash browns!
The Simply Potato hashbrowns are my favorite! I’m a potato lover!
Such a yummy soup! Perfect relief for the cold front hitting this weekend!
