Seafood Chowder
Seafood Chowder
Say “chow” to this creamy chowder full of delicious flavours and fibre-rich vegies. It’s a spin on the classic Hungarian Fisherman’s Soup, which traditionally uses carp or catfish and is spiced with generous amounts of paprika. It’s the perfect one-pot wonder for mid-week meals.
