New England Chowder & Bread Bowl
Shell yeah! | 2-3 Servings
- Fish
- Milk
- Wheat
OK, OK. Soup isn’t exactly a warm-weather staple, but when it comes to this Cape Cod specialty, no time is the wrong time—especially when it’s served in a crusty sourdough bread bowl! This rich and creamy New England-style clam chowder happens to be extra special. It’s made with a base of flavorful clam broth and sweet cream, and it’s chock full of clams, potatoes, and spices. Pro tip: Save the bread you scoop out of the bowl for dipping! The best part? All you have to do is heat it up and grab a spoon! One slurp will have you (bread) bowled over. *Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 bundle serving*

Cooking Steps
RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place sealed bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors before serving.
MICROWAVE ALTERNATIVE: Cut one corner of the bag; pour chowder into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and chowder will be very hot.)
BREAD BOWL: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a 2- to 4-inch circle into the top of the loaf and remove. Scoop out the inside of the bread to create a bowl. Brush inside of bread bowl with 1 TBSP olive oil or melted butter; bake on middle rack until lightly toasted and warmed through, 7-8 minutes.

Reviews from our home cooks
Omg! This was one of the best clam chowders we've had. The only one better is made in Portland Oregon with all fresh ingredients but this is almost as good! Very tasty and so comforting especially in a bread bowl. We loved this so much! Will order this chowder again!
I messed up the bread bowl but it was surprisingly really good. My expectations were low because clam chowder can be a hit or a miss but this hit. Perfect for the winter super comfy and over delicious. Hit all the right spots.
The soup is so tasty! Don't skimp on the bread bowls - they're delicious when you follow the directions, put them in the oven - making them crispy and perfectly melting with the soup... all the way to the end! If it's on sale - TAKE IT!
Surprisingly delicious! The soup tasted homemade, and the bread, oiled and toasted, was so good. My boyfriend, who is not a big fan of soup, devoured the entire bowl.
This was really good soup and the bowls were not hard! Great cold weather meal!
I grew up in New England so I've had a lot of chowder. This could use more "clam" flavoring (seafood stock?) and maybe a spice to give it more flavor. Having said that, we did eat it and enjoyed the warm bread.
Enjoyed the chowder. Very good flavor. Not crazy about bread bowls but they were fine
This was such a treat! My favorite soup is clam chowder and this soup was so good!
Delicious chowder! Wanting to order more, only downfall is it's not always available to add on!
Really tasty soup and bread. Great filling lunch on a warmish fall day.
