I love soup! Especially chowders, ahem, I mean cream based soups. I actually just looked it up, to see what “chowder” was. Originally chowder was a hearty fish stew containing potatoes and milk or cream. In my opinion, anything that is thick and rich and creamy, whether it contains seafood or not, is a chowder. So, if you prefer, you can call this Broccoli Cheddar Chowder or just Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Either way, this is a satisfying soup on a chilly evening.

I served my soup topped with some of my Homemade Toasty Croutons and a side of crusty french bread.
