Ingredients
Instructions
- Keep the clam chowder and garlic bread frozen or refrigerated until ready to use.
- To heat the chowder on the stovetop: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the sealed bag of chowder in the pot and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag (it will be very hot), cut one corner with scissors and pour the soup into a serving bowl.
- To heat the chowder in the microwave: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the soup into a microwave-safe container (do not microwave in the bag). Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, for 5-6 minutes. Be careful-the container and soup will be very hot.
- For the garlic bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Separate into slices and serve alongside the chowder.
Recipe Tips
For extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a pat of butter before serving.
If you prefer a thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes with a fork before serving.
Leftover chowder can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
