FAQs

What does cabbage chowder generally consist of?

Cabbage chowder is an easy-to-make comforting soup made with simple ingredients. Cabbage (shredded or chopped), potatoes (diced), onions, carrots, and celery are the main components of the soup. Milk, heavy cream, or a roux of butter and flour give the creamy texture. Chicken or vegetable stock is used as the liquid base, and salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme flavour. You can add richness and depth to chowder by opting for bacon, ham, or cheese.

Can I make this cabbage chowder vegan and gluten-free?

Yes, chowder can easily be adapted to suit dietary preferences. For a vegan option, replace dairy milk with plant-based options and use vegetable rather than chicken stock. The cashews can be blended for a creamy texture, or a spoonful of coconut cream can be added. For a gluten-free version, the flour in the roux can be substituted by gluten-free flour or cornstarch as a thickening agent. Make sure that any optional ingredients, such as broth or spice blends, are gluten-free.

How can I vary or intensify the flavour of cabbage chowder?

Add variety with proteins: cooked sausage, shredded chicken, or tofu. Smoked paprika and white wine will add depth to the flavour. Add a cheesy touch by mixing in shredded cheddar or parmesan before serving. Topping with crispy bacon bits, croutons, or fresh parsley is excellent for texture and flavour. Serve with crusty bread for a well-rounded meal.
