Notes

For a vegetarian twist, use vegetable stock and swap heavy cream with coconut milk. If you’re not a fan of shrimp, consider using crab or lobster instead. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze the base (without seafood and cream) for up to three months. Fresh seafood delivers the best flavor, so choose quality ingredients for your chowder! For a unique taste, add a splash of white wine while sautéing the onions and garlic.
