What is chowder?
Chowder is basically a thick hearty soup. In the past, it was considered to be “poor man’s food,” as anything they had was stewed in a cauldron. There's nothing poor about chowders of today and there are many types to choose from.
The standard New England-style chowder contains fish or shellfish, salt pork, onions, potatoes, and milk. Manhattan-style chowder replaces the milk with tomatoes. In the Southern and Midwestern States, fresh sweet corn replaces the clams and in Key West, Florida they use conch. Chowders have become more varied over time using different meats and adding wine, spices, herbs, cider, and other flavorings.They have evolved usingpumpkin, sweet potato, chicken, and even beans. It really has adapted to the imaginations of home chefs.
