Note
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley just before serving for the best flavor and color.
For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the water with chicken broth.
If the chowder is too thick after storage, add a splash of milk or water and reheat gently.
This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform 1/2-inch cubes so they cook evenly with the carrots.
