What is Vegetable Chowder?
Vegetable Chowder is a delectable thick and cheesy soup where vegetables and garlic are cooked in a white sauce. The white sauce is loaded with parmesan cheese which makes it creamy, and the herbs used to make this soup gives it a fantastic flavour.
Packed with the goodness of vegetables like onion, carrot, broccoli, potatoes, its is a great option for your weeknight dinners along with a toasted bread. Here, I have used Chicken broth to make the Chowder, but you can also vegetable broth instead.

Perfect chowder to be dipped with the toasted bread. Maybe I thought I can do away with the chicken stock and goes in veg stock to make it more of a vegetarian dish.
