A chowder is a creamy, rich-flavored soup, which has similar ingredients to a stew because it contains the bulky. Vegetables, seafood and cream are ingredients typical fish soup. Chowder traditionally made of fat and is thickened with crushed crackers. There are many different types of soup today, poultry, fish or meat, as their base.

Chowder were initially by local fishermen, the fish samples that you can cook in large pots and throw caught would be createdthem with potatoes and vegetables. Americans adopted this type of seafood stew from the French settlers in the northern colonies. The stewpot was called a chaudiere, and this word eventually became "chowder."

Chowder recipes were written down as early as in the late eighteenth century, although the British were making fish stews and chowders before they became popular in the United States.

Types of Chowders

Clam chowder and corn chowder are very popular types of chowder recipes. There are two different types of clam chowder. A Manhattan style clam chowder uses pureed tomatoes as a base. A New England style clam chowder uses cream as a base. Clam chowder dates back to the early nineteenth century and clams were used because they were abundant in the new colonies. Cooks experimented with the basic recipe by adding cream and other ingredients.

A chowder does not have to include seafood and it is thought that many chowder recipes were invented because cooks were using whichever ingredients happened to need using up in the kitchen. A bisque is a pureed form of a chowder.
