  2. I don’t understand this video. The chowder clearly has bacon on top of it in the picture, but there’s no bacon to be found in the recipe when you watch the video. Also, I would agree that most of the chowders I’ve had a New England are gloppy, thick messes. But I would think it would want to have a little bit more body than what I see here.this is like the consistency of Tom Yum soup

  3. 6:19 eek was that a tiny fish bone sticking up near the middle right side? did you have to be careful consuming the soup by feeling with your lips if there were any thin needle bones? white bones in white fish…scary! i wonder how mcdonalds makes their filet-o-fish consistently without bones…i've never thought about going slowly when eating one of those since it's never had any in my experience…though i guess there's always a first time…

    also do you leave the cubes of pork in there? are they just there to lend flavor or do you eat it? they seemed pretty big chunks…

  4. I started doing something similar with my chicken soup a couple of years ago (big improvement). I sear the chicken breasts (skin on) along with all the other chicken parts. Once I add liquid, I only cook the breast for 20-ish minutes (not quite cooked through), then remove. I finish the soup and add the shredded white meat back in to finish. 😋
    I might have learned this from you guys.
