Louder for the Chowder ...

I discovered Chowder last year when a growling stomach brought me to our office canteen. They were serving clam chowder. Being a FOB and the victim of a culinary intrepidity that has caused severe anguish the next day more often than not, I tried it. It was awesome. I have been hooked eversince.

I never knew though, that its so easy to prepare. So yesterday while reading about its origins etc, I came across a recipe and then decided to make it myself. Ofcourse, I "bachelorised" it, getting rid of non-essentials and other avoidable stuff like pork and pork-fat

Its the perfect bachelor's recipe. Needs potatoes, onions, cream/whole milk and your pick of seafood or corn etc if you are a veggie.

Its a no-brainer recipe. Saute the onions, add potatoes and mash them in so that they'll thicken your chowder. Then add water, cream and get it all to a boil. Add salt, pepper and then add the seafood / veggie and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Thats it ... :) .. try it :)

Its so darn simple, very very quick to make and if you are using seafood its very healthy too :).

Yeah, the potato adds a lot of calories and so does the cream. But you can do w/o the cream and to compensate the potato: MOVE your bloody fat ass will you. Yeah go workout now so that you will have earned it when you cook it later!!!
