Mussels simmered in white wine, garlic and butter, in my opinion, rank right up there with Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. So why would I mess with an absolutely delicious recipe? Rhetorical.
Because Thai Seafood Chowder not only sounds like winning, but the addition of coconut milk, red curry paste and Serrano peppers took comfort to a new level.

Rustic Potato Chowder with Bacon. After one bite I knew we would have to recreate it for Lemony Thyme. It’s hearty enough to enjoy as a meal and easy enough to become a weeknight favorite.
I was just having a conversation with a friend about how bacon makes everything better. I’ve shared before that we keep our bacon in the freezer. That way we always have some on hand and it’s easy to cut into pieces that cook quickly. Bacon adds wonderful flavor to this chowder, but feel free to omit for a vegetarian version. Leftover cooked new potatoes also contributed to the minimal effort required.

Hanging on to every fresh produce summer moment over here on Lemony Thyme. I’m calling this soup Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder because it has a creaminess about it and chowders are amazing. The beautiful thing is the creamy came from the white beans not cream or butter. That puts this soup squarely in our Healthy Choices category.

The inspiration to make this bowl of love came from these five beautiful words… Cajun Salmon & Sweet Potato Chowder. That was enough for me to go buy a beautiful piece of salmon and get to work.

Fish Chowder served in Bread Bowls. <—- click here for Bread Bowl recipe.
I approached the seafood counter at Whole Foods without a plan. Which is often how it goes. I’m looking for the fish to speak to me. Someone to stand out in the crowd. On this day, the cod did more than speak….they sang to me.

As kids growing up, when we went out to a restaurant, what we ordered was routine (thank goodness I outgrew that phase). Even though Mom had it memorized and could have easily ordered for us, from as early as I can remember she insisted we order our own meal (and take our elbows off the table). The server would take our drink order first, mine was always Ginger Ale. Then they’d come back and take our meal order, mine was always a Grilled Cheese Sandwich and a cup of Clam Chowder. Always. When you grow up in New England, it’s not a matter of whether Clam Chowder is the ‘soup of the day’….it will always be on the menu.

Day #6 of Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week….and we’re still cooking strong. As you can imagine creating new dishes or testing recipes every night leads to an abundance of open ingredients that begin to take over the Fridge/Freezer and Pantry. As we stared into our refrigerator full of Thanksgiving leftovers it was clear….enough is enough. And we declared this week to be Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week.

Southwest Corn & Shrimp Chowder
“Chowda” was something we grew up on in New England. Corn, Clam, Oyster… they were all favorites and my mom made them all from scratch. After college, when I was ready to move into my own apartment, she wrote out some “simplified” versions of basic recipes for me. Chinaman’s Pie, Meatloaf, and Corn Chowder were all included.
