Tips:
For an extra kick of flavor, you can add cooked and crumbled bacon or a pinch of smoked paprika to the chowder.

If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water and add it to the simmering soup, stirring until thickened.
Leftover chowder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed to adjust the consistency.
