Frequently Asked Questions

Can I swap the heavy cream for something lighter?

Yep! Half-and-half works fine, or even whole milk for a thinner chowder.

Can I make this ahead?

Sure can! Store it in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat gently on the stove.

Can I freeze it?

I wouldn't recommend it; the cream can separate when thawed.
