If you crave comfort as you wrap up the year, this clam chowder recipe is for you. This version features an ultra-creamy soup loaded with seafood and other hearty add-ons like potatoes. As the name suggests, the star ingredient in traditional clam chowder is the clams. Then, include other seafood, like fish fillet, squid, and shrimp for more heft. They’ll make every spoonful more exciting in flavor and texture. Can’t get fresh clams? Replace them with mussels or any other shellfish in the market.
For Media Noche-ready chowder, serve it in a sourdough bread bowl. The lid doubles as a dipper. Once you've slurped the soup, you can also eat the bowl. Yay, no dishes! Alternatively, pair this with crackers or add croutons for a crunchy touch.
