Notes

OPTIONAL: If you choose to thicken your chowder a bit more, while the chowder is coming to a boil, in a glass, add 2 tablespoons cornstarch to ½ cup water and stir until all lumps are gone. When chowder is at a slow boil, slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to boil for 2 minutes or until chowder thickens.
