Notes
For extra flavor, you can add cooked bacon or ham to the chowder. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add a nice kick. This recipe can be easily scaled up or down depending on the number of servings needed. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Consider garnishing with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. This versatile dish is perfect for a cozy meal any time of year!
