Keto Slow Cooker Fish Chowder

If you are looking for more easy ways to add fish to your diet, this recipe for Keto Slow Cooker Fish Chowder is an excellent choice. White onion and olive oil start the base of this chowder, along with heavy cream and some water to make it broth-like. Wild-caught cod is added to the slower cooker along with spices and seasonings like salt, black pepper, and paprika. Since non-Keto recipes for fish chowder call for potatoes, we have added cauliflower florets instead. To make the cauliflower more "potato"-like, we have cut them into larger pieces, so they don't dissolve into the chowder, but are the perfect texture by the time the soup is finished cooking. The soup is topped with a delicious mixture of diced celery, red onion, and sliced fresh scallions. This gives the soup a nicely needed pop of color and texture. You will love this Keto slow cooker recipe!

Can you make Keto recipes in a slow cooker?

Yes! Keto recipes are easy to make in the slow cooker as well. Using a slow cooker doesn't restrict the recipe one way or the other and can be the perfect tool for cooking a wonderful Keto meal. We love using the slow cooker to get ahead of dinnertime because it allows for food prep ahead of time yet can hold food hot until ready to serve.

What other kinds of seafood could I use?

Other types of seafood that would work well in this chowder are other white fish like tilapia, pollock, or sea bass. You could even do a mix of fish and oysters if you would like.

What is the best type of cauliflower to use?

If you can, choose to cut your own cauliflower head so you can cut the florets into larger pieces (about 2" to 2 ½" large). If you want the convenience of pre-cut cauliflower florets, that is fine too, be sure to purchase ones that are close to the size mentioned.

Is arrowroot powder Keto?

Arrowroot starch is generally accepted on the Keto diet in small quantities, as is used in this recipe. It is used as a thickener and is never consumed in large quantities. However, if you want to substitute the arrowroot starch with xanthan gum, you can. However, xanthan only works when the dish is cooling, whereas arrowroot will keep the chowder thickened when it is hot. If using xanthan, a little xanthan goes a long way!
