Yesterday night, we had Seafood Chowder for dinner,
along with Stir Fry Cauliflower & broccoli.
It has been a long time since we had this chowder dish,
everyone missed this delicious and tasty filling soup.
Most chowder recipes are thicken with flour and dairy
ingredients but this is exceptional recipe.
It does contain cubes of potatoes , carrots and celery
but it is dairy free.
I had used canned mushroom soup instead of flour
thickening in order to enhance the seafood mushroom
flavor.
All-in-1 Soup
My kids called it a All -in -1 Soup because it is
fulled with different types of vegetables and seafood
ingredients which they loved very much.
The mushroom soup had delivered a wonderful creamy
texture which was hot and awesome.
Ingredients Substitute
Sometimes, it is difficult to buy fresh squids and shrimps
in the market.
You could replace them with squids balls ( alike fish balls)
, frozen shrimps , frozen or canned scallops or clams,
instead.
Refrain from using fish with many bones because your
little ones might not be able to pick out the bones, unless
you have to remove them before adding into the chowder
dish.
Your best bet would be white fish cod, halibut , dory
fish or salmon fish, less bones, more flesh.
Bread or Rice
This Seafood Chowder served best with white or
wholewheat bread, plain muffins, French bread or pita
bread for the Americans or Europeans.
However Asians prefer to have white rice which is our
staple food.
Seafood Chowder is considered as a side dish because it
belonged to the soup category for us.
Hence, main course dish has to be meaty dish or
vegetable dish which I had chosen Stir Fry Cauliflower
and Broccoli.
Benefits of Seafood Chowder
l Seafood Chowder is extremely high in IRON,
maganese, copper and zinc.
l Fish contains Omega 3 Fatty acids which is vital for
growing up children.
In addition, these fats are UNSATURATED fats which
increases insulin production in the pancreas.
Hence, it reduces the contraction of DIABETES disease
especially young and middle age consumers.

It is non-dairy and uses corn oil.
You could use canola or olive oil for healthier consumption
.

This sounds delicious, Peachy! I'm not really a fan of squid, but I love crab and shrimp. I would probably try the recipe as is, though, because my daughters love squid!
@ruby3881/
thanks very much Kyla!
Yes you can replace any of the seafood with whatever that you prefer!
I like the squid ball instead of the real squid.
Yes, the crabsticks are nice but real crab flesh would be even better !
Shrimps are my favorite too and I love the usage of mushroom cream soup instead of using flour.
I should have insert the picture of Knorr Anchovies granules, I will do that next time.
Can I adjust the size of the pic in the post content?
