Cooking Tips

  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken instead of cooking it from scratch.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can add more flour or use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover chowder can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the chowder on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve the chowder with crusty bread or oyster crackers for a complete meal.
