EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

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.

Perk up the presentation of this chunky chowder by sprinkling each serving with chopped fresh thyme or parsley.

The term chowder is used to describe a thick, rich soup with chunks of food. The name comes from the French chaudière, or "cauldron."

This is a good starter recipe because after making it I wasn't satisfied with the flavor. So, I added salt, pepper, dill weed, red bell pepper, crab meat and a little old bay. This significantly improved the flavor, without altering (too much) the low calorie content.

So good. Even my husband loved it. It needed more salt that asked for though. But I like salted seafood. So easy to make as well. I made extra bacon bits to top with and served it with beer bread. YUMMY!!!!

Yep, this one is pretty good!! However, I like my chowders to be a bit thicker, so I used some extra broth with corn starch and added it to the pot. Did the trick! This one will be a keeper for the simple fact that it has all my families favorites, AND it's super easy! :)
