I love that this chowder had all the ingredients that my kids love, they devour this stuff. Of course we all like it the best with some saltine crackers crushed up on top. It really brings this soup up a level. But the best part of all, this chowder all cooks up in one pot! Less dishes is always a win in my book.

Basically, chowder is a thicker kind of soup and is generally cream-based. Soup can be all kinds of flavors, but the commonality among the “soup” distinction is the fact that is has a thinner broth. Chowder lends itself to a heartier, thicker base that actually has origins in the New England area. That’s why certain kinds of clam chowder have the distinction of being “New England Clam Chowder.” Most chowders have a white sauce base, but if you’ve heard the distinction of a “Manhattan chowder” that’s because those chowders have a tomato base. Originally, chowder was more a fishermen’s stew, made with seafood. Today, however, there are all kinds of chowders, including vegetable, corn, potato, chicken and more.
