Ingredients
Instructions
- Keep the chowder frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat.
- For stovetop preparation: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the sealed bag of chowder into the boiling water and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag (it will be very hot). Cut one corner with scissors and pour the chowder into a serving bowl.
- For microwave preparation: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the chowder 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 cautious, as the container and soup will be very hot.
Recipe Tips
For an extra creamy texture, stir in a splash of heavy cream before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley or oyster crackers for added flavor and crunch.
If using the stovetop method, ensure the bag is fully submerged in boiling water for even heating.
