While chowder comes in many different varieties, they all have at least one thing in common: they’re creamy, velvety, and super comforting.

This chowder takes the cake (or, uh, clams) so far for the creamiest chowder recipe. It does use cauliflower to make the base, but it’s also extra creamy with the use of nutritional yeast. The nutritional yeast gives it an almost creamy flavor that’s so yummy.

This creamy chowder has cauliflower, red potatoes, onion, clams, and salt pork for a unique and delicious flavor. Coconut milk helps to make it extra creamy, while butter adds a special richness and velvety mouthfeel. Feel free to use sweet potatoes if you avoid eating white potatoes.
