Chowders and Soups

Soups can comfort you when you’re sick, tickle your taste buds at the start of a meal, and envelop you with warmth on a winter’s day. Soup can be simple and rustic, or elegant and complex, and each culture’s cuisine has a soup that is instantly identifiable. In the Maritimes, that soup is chowder. Chowders and Soups is a collection of over 50 recipes accompanied by appetizing colour photos. The book includes recipes for classic seafood chowder, but also lobster, shrimp, crab, and clam versions. Fabulous soup recipes like roast garlic and potato, cream of asparagus and fiddlehead, and even strawberry and cracked black pepper are sure to delight those looking to prepare something unique.
