The trouble with being lactose intolerant is that eating at restaurants can be a hazard, and forget about anything cream based – just forget about it. But I love dairy everything which means I have learned to cook things I can eat that don’t make me sick. I also love the fact that I know exactly what I am putting in my food. A few weeks ago, I had an intense craving for a seafood chowder, so I did the only logical thing possible – I invented my own recipe for one. This soup is quite brothy and not heavy and thick, but we loved that about it since it meant you could eat more. You can certainly use whole milk, or even cream in place of 2% milk and if you wanted to thicken it you could use more flour, or even a touch of corn starch. I feel that the depth of flavor – the sweetness from the corn, the seafood goodness, and the slight touch of heat more than made up for the lack of thickness. This is the perfect dish for a cold winter night like tonight.
