Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make this cozy soup the star of a simple meal. A basket of hearty whole-grain or sourdough rolls or breadsticks is the only accompaniment needed.
  • tip 2
    Perk up the presentation of this chunky chowder by sprinkling each serving with chopped fresh thyme or parsley.
  • tip 3
    The term chowder is used to describe a thick, rich soup with chunks of food. The name comes from the French chaudière, or "cauldron."
