There are plenty of ways to enjoy a warm bowl of chowder. If you love this soup dish and want to explore the best pairings to round out your meal, then here are several tips you’ll want to try.
Go for rolls
Cloverleaf rolls or biscuits should be a big hit when you serve them right alongside a huge, steaming bowl of clam chowder. That’s going to make for a delicious way to soak up the creamy soup. Make sure you have enough for everyone, especially if you and your guests come back for seconds or third helpings.
Pick a salad
If you’re swinging by your favorite restaurant for a bowl of New England Chowder in Boston, then you may want to order a salad to go along with that. Pick something you can dress with a little vinegar and olive oil. This is a good pairing to go for, especially when you don’t have to prepare the salad yourself.
Choose your wine
A Sauvignon Blanc may be a good choice to balance out the hearty soup. But if that’s too late for your taste, you could always go for a medium-bodied white like a Chardonnay, the Do Tell a Belle says.
Try out coleslaw
A cabbage-based slaw may also provide a good contrast to the dish, with its crunchy and finely shredded greens. The warm and creamy soup will go well with the cool and crisp texture and taste of your salad. The next time you bop on over for a taste of New England Chowder in Boston, try out this pairing.
Eat with sandwiches
Another option you could try is to pair up the soup with bread like croque monsieur. You’ll want to have these cut into finger sandwiches so they’ll be much, much easier to eat.
