Gluten Free Option Available
Spice Level: Not Spicy
Chef’s Inspiration
This comforting classic now turned plant-based. Perfect for a cold rainy day or if you are wanting something hot but light - I do not think there is ever a bad time for a hearty bowl of chowder. Served with our savory pumpkin seed garlic bread so that you leave not even a single drop in the bowl.
We want to thank www.savedasea.com for partnering with us on this dish with their delicious Vegan Smoked Salmon.
Preparation
Follow timing on MANNA package, this time varies by +/- 3 minutes depending on the level of your simmer and how cold your fridge is. You want to ensure that the internal food temperature reaches about 165°F/74°C, piping hot. Pour desired amount of chowder into a bowl and serve garlic bread on the side, top with crispy shallots and fresh parsley if you have some.
