OBS

Dans l'Est du Canada, ce sont surtout des myes que l'on récolte et que l'on met en conserve (soft shell clams), mais il peut également s'agir de palourdes (hard shell clams). En France, le mot chaudrée n'est pas suivi d'un déterminatif parce qu'il s'applique uniquement à la soupe de poisson charentaise, alors qu'au Canada, il désigne avant tout la soupe aux coquillages et pommes de terre d'Acadie et de Nouvelle-Angleterre.

CONT

The name chowder seems to have originated from the French word chaudière (a large heavy pot used by fishermen to cook soups and stews). The name probably was carried to the French Canadian coasts and traveled from there to New England (noted for its clam chowder) and then south. Each locality on the eastern coast of the United States has its favorite recipe, based on the kinds of fish and vegetables available. The name is extended to include a mixture of vegetables only.

OBS

A thick, chunky soup made with fresh fish.

OBS

The most popular of chowders is clam chowder.
