FAQs
______________________________________________________________________________
Can you freeze corn chowder?
Cool soup completely, then add to freezer-safe containers and freeze 1-2 months. To thaw, place containers in the refrigerator overnight or until thawed completely. Reheat in Dutch oven or soup pot and once heated through, add half and a half and stir to heat. Serve as directed
How do you thicken corn chowder?
Add Flour, Cornstarch, or Other Thickener: Starches thicken the soup and give it body. Whisk a few tablespoons of starch into a little of the broth in a separate bowl before whisking it into the main pot. This prevents the starch from clumping and helps it dissolve into the soup evenly.
What makes a chowder a chowder?
A chowder is a thick, rich, chunky soup usually made with a white sauce base though Manhattan chowders have a tomato base. Originally, it was a fishermen’s stew made with seafood but today, vegetable chowders are common such as corn chowder and potato chowder.
Is it better to thicken with flour or cornstarch?
Cornstarch is good for thickening foods like sauces, puddings, and pie fillings. But because it’s pure starch, cornstarch has twice the thickening power of flour. So you would have to use twice as much flour to achieve the same thickening as cornstarch.
