Economics had a lot to do with what we ate when I was growing up in New Hampshire during the Depression. Money may have been scarce, but fish was plentiful and affordable, so that's how we began eating this dish. When meat rationing came along in World War II, fish chowder again became a staple in our household. Fortunately, my family loved it...it still is one of my favorites!

Outstanding made exactly as directed

This is a family favorite! It goes together fast and easy and I can easily keep the ingredients on hand for a quick meal. I have made this for guests and always get rave reviews. I use chicken broth instead of water and I use a bit less (maybe 2 - 3 cups) because we like a chowder with less broth. I have also used shrimp and langostino with great results.

Apple Cider Vinegar instead of Lemon Juice / Cod Fish and add cream corn for sweetness

Yummm! This recipe is simple and taste good. I do not like chowder at all. I tried for my husband and it turned out pleasant. I will make this again.
