Cream and Chowder Soups
Cream soup starts with white sauce ingredients – melt butter; thicken with flour and add milk or cream. A classic cream soup is broccoli cheddar. Most folks expect chowders to be a chunkier cream soup. A classic chowder is the New England clam chowder.
When making cream soups and chowders, you can reduce the fat in your soup or chowder by using lower fat ingredients such as: 2% cheese, 1% or 2% milk; soft canola butter vs. butter sticks.
