Tips

You can use other types of fish than tilapia, for example, cod, haddock, halibut, or salmon. You can also opt for a combination of seafood such as clams, shrimp, and scallops.

Tips

After adding the fish towards the end of the cooking process, remember not to stir too vigorously as this will break the fish up and make the soup mushy. Instead, stir carefully with slow movements.

Questions about lactose-free chowder soup

Curious about chowder soup? If you are new to this hearty dish, let us introduce you to the delicious world of lactose-free fish chowder soup.

What is a chowder soup?
Chowder is a creamy soup originating in North America, particularly in the New England region. A combination of milk or cream and broth makes it rich and luscious, and it typically contains seafood such as fish or clams as well as potatoes, onions, celery, and sweet corn. There are many versions depending on regional and personal preferences. The difference between soup and chowder is the thicker and creamier consistency of chowders, which is achieved using dairy or dairy substitutes.
What fish to use in a lactose-free chowder soup?
The key to a good chowder is fresh, high-quality fish. You can use various types, but common ones are whitefish like cod, haddock, or halibut as well as buttery, delicious salmon. They are all quite firm and hold up well in cooking. You can also use clams or other seafood.
What to serve with lactose-free chowder soup?
In our chowder soup recipe, we recommend serving it with crispy bacon and fresh parsley as a delightful topping to elevate the flavour. You can also consider serving it with lactose-free bread or crackers for added substance. If you prefer a lighter touch, a refreshing salad can complement the richness of the chowder perfectly. You can also serve it alongside grilled or steamed seafood to add another layer of flavour and texture to the meal.
