For a richer flavor, consider browning the ham bone in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. If you don't have red potatoes, Yukon gold or russet potatoes will also work well. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency. Feel free to add other vegetables such as celery, leeks, or bell peppers to customize your chowder. A splash of heavy cream at the end can add extra richness.
