Make

  1. If you would like to serve the baguette warm, heat the oven to 350F / 177C. Place baguette on a sheet pan and bake just until crisp on the outside and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes.
  2. When soup is finished cooking, remove and discard bay leaves. Stir in vinegar and hot sauce (if using). Use an immersion blender to blend a small portion of the soup right in the bowl of the slow cooker (this will make give the chowder a smooth, creamy quality without the addition of any cream). Taste soup and season with some salt and pepper, if needed.
  3. Slice or tear baguette into pieces. Serve soup with baguette on the side. Enjoy!
