Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your chowder, consider adding herbs like thyme or dill. If you don't have salt pork, diced bacon or smoked sausage can be great substitutes. For a creamier texture, you can increase the milk or add a splash of cream. Remember to adjust the salt based on your broth's saltiness. This chowder is also delicious topped with fresh parsley.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty chowder with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal. A light salad, such as a Seven Step Salad, makes a refreshing side that complements the rich flavors of the chowder. For a touch of brightness, consider garnishing each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover chowder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm it on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. If the chowder thickens too much, add a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
