chowders

Hearty seafood soups

Chowders is the plural of chowder, a thick, hearty soup typically made with seafood or vegetables in a milk or cream base.

New England clam chowder is the most famous variety, though Manhattan-style uses tomatoes instead of cream.

The restaurant offered three different chowders on their winter menu.
