Cosy winter nights … comfy clothes, a soft sofa and a big bowl of hearty healthy soup.

I love Chowder… a thick, wholesome stew-like soup, and this Cauliflower Seafood Chowder is just brilliant. A slight twist on the traditional recipe, replacing the potato base with cauliflower. Low in carbs, light on the tummy with no compromise on flavour.
