7 ounces canned chopped clams, drained
6 ounces canned shrimp, drained
4 ounces imitation crab, flaked
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Stir in the carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Cook time is very off. 7 hours later my potatoes are still not cooked fully. Broth was likewise very bland, added some salt, pepper and Adobo to help.
Sounds like your crock pot cooks on a very low heat. Potatoes should definitely be cooked after 4-5 hours in most crock pots.

Thanks so much for the recipe. It turned out very well! I made a couple of minor changes; I used half and half instead of milk, and I added a can of crab meat to make it thicker. I used a small bag of frozen stew vegetables to save on chopping. Also salt/pepper to taste. I served it with warm, crusty bread for a complete meal.
