Chowders are a healthy meal combined into one dish. You can eat it on its own and get all the nutrients you need for the day or have it as an appetizer if you have a really big appetite. This is also a healthy for when you are on a diet without having to skip important meals of the day. It contains all the goodness you will need for the rest of the day.
Chowder is a generic name for soups that contain seafood and/or vegetables which are often served with a thick creamy base. Some of which are thickened with crushed ship biscuit mixed with milk instead of flour and milk. One of the most popular varieties of this soup is the clam chowder which is based with cream and milk and sometimes tomatoes and milk to make the soup extra creamy and delectable. Sometimes, cheese is also used to thicken the soup and make it more delectable.
Another equally healthy and delicious chowder recipe is salmon and corn chowder - replacing clams with salmon and potatoes with corn. It has all the nutrients you will need for the day and contains only 220 calories - great for people on a diet.
