\"chowderChowder is different things to different people. Some insist that the word \u201cclam\u201d come before it or that potatoes be involved, some like a creamy broth (New England-style) and some like a broth flavored with tomatoes (Manhattan-style). We prefer the broad definition found in most culinary dictionaries that declares chowder to be \u201cany thick soup containing chunks of food.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Arctic Char (or Wild Salmon) Chowder recipe sent in by Mike Cheliak for the Primal Blueprint Cookbook Challenge<\/a> meets this definition and will undoubtedly unite both lovers of creamy broths and tomato based broths. Filled with generous chunks of fish and tomatoes, it is chowder that will satisfy your hunger and your need for Omega 3s<\/a> and powerful antioxidants like lycopene. The bit of cream added at the end provides a delicious, rich texture but is entirely optional, as the chowder is just as flavorful without it.<\/p>\n

Mike suggests using wild Arctic Char for this chowder, a fish that is related to both trout and salmon in looks and flavor. Its natural habitat is the icy waters of the ocean and higher altitude lakes in North America and Europe.<\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re lucky enough to be Mike and have a brother who brings home wild-caught Arctic Char from his station in Canada\u2019s Arctic North, the Arctic Char you\u2019ll buy in a store is most likely farmed. Before you write off farmed Arctic Char completely, consider that two trusted sources, the Monterey Bay Aquarium<\/a> and Environmental Defense Fund<\/a> <\/a> list Arctic Char as a best choice for seafood consumption. It is a fish that provides high amounts of Omega-3s and is farmed in an ecologically responsible way, which minimizes contaminants. However, if you decide that farmed Arctic Char isn\u2019t for you, or you can\u2019t find it in your local seafood department, wild-caught Alaskan salmon is an even better choice and equally delicious in this chowder.<\/p>\n

With a few simple steps – chop up vegetables, add canned tomatoes, broth and fish \u2013 you\u2019ll have a pot simmering on your stove that is filled with rich flavors. We think you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a chowder lover who doesn\u2019t fall in love with this variation on a comforting classic.<\/p>\n
