From Dictionary.com, Chowder = "a thick soup or stew made of clams, fish, or
vegetables, with potatoes, onions, and other ingredients and seasonings."

Michael's "Chowder for Yvonne" recipe,
3 cups milk, 3 Tbsp flour, 4 Tbsp real and sweet butter, 2 cups potato cubed
and pre-cooked, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper,

2 cups broccoli (You can use flowers as you wish, I use stem and stem below
last branches going to flowers need peeled and stem attached to flowers down
to main stem use as is, preferring these rather than main stem.)

2 salmons filets from the individual packed kind about 4 ounces each, coated
in butter, sprinkled with garlic and then precooked in oven until flaky, let
cool then chop into chunks.

Put milk, flour, butter, seasonings and well steamed broccoli into a blender
and blend until broccoli is pureed, put this into a pot to thicken, when
thick, add precooked and cubed potato and precooked salmon chunks. Adjust
seasoning to taste.

this recipe was developed with broccoli simply to assist my wife with
getting more vegetables into her diet.
