  • Rate This
The definition of chowder varies depending on where you are in the the world. Some are creamy and briny with seafood, while others are based around a tangy tomato broth. To me, a chowder just needs to be hearty and spiked with milk. Here, vegetables are the star: cauliflower for sweetness, potato for creaminess, and red bell pepper for a splash of color. Cooking the vegetables in the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker keeps their flavors present and makes for quick prep time.
