I’m sure we all love soups and stews, but some of us are afraid to make it because it may not taste good.  ” I believe if you love what you are doing it will always turn out good” when you are working in the kitchen, ” make a mess.” Feel comfortable, if you have a recipe you are going to use first check out what you would need for that recipe and if you can substitute with what you have available.

Then pull out your boilers, frying pans, spices, or whatever is needed for that recipe, pull up your sleeves and get started. Taste as you go to see if you need more or less of what the recipe is asking for, feel comfortable in your kitchen and yes your recipe will turn out amazing.

      I finally got to Newfoundland for a couple of weeks and I loved the seafood. Now I am back in the mainland I tried this chowder recipe. I used bacon instead of salt pork, heavy cream instead of Carnation Evaporated milk and the recipe was delicious. Now I am inspired to try Cod au gratin and then who knows what? Thanks for a very interesting and useful website.

      Hello—I had to notice there is no summer savoury in this recipe? Do you advise that it is not suitable here? Had a wonderful fish chowder at a farmers’ market, where there was a NFL vendor of seafood. Said included some of all the fish they sell. Have asked local fish monger to make up packets of mixed fish for chowder, as for one person, cannot buy the variety needed for tasty result. Suspect have enough business without my idea. It was sooo good. When I finally get around to making come, I would have included the savoury.

        Hi Shirley: Thank you so much for stopping by and for enjoying our recipe today, I didn’t put savoury in this recipe because I do like the dill more in here. But if you add the summer savoury only add a 1/4 tsp while its cooking not over the top. I’ve used it in lots of seafood recipes and stuffings, and even in our Newfoundland bread pudding. Here in NL at Dominion store they make up chowder seafood packages and its not hard for them to do that. When you are only cooking this meal for one or two people buying all of that seafood can be expensive. Stay safe and thank you once again for stopping by./ Enjoy Bonita

      Very good Can you freeze it?

      Reply
      1. Bonita

        Hi Linda: Thank you for your message and for visiting my website, yes you can freeze the chowder. But in a freezer container or freezer bags, when you remove it from the freezer let it thaw totally before you start to reheat it. When you reheat the chowder do it on a very low heat almost simmer, but only freeze it for a few weeks not for a long time. Thanks and have a lovely day. Bonita
