Eat yo' chowda son

We've heard the term, but what the hell is the difference between soup and Chowder? It's got to have something to do with the texture, obviously, but what if it's everything to do with what goes into the enjoyment? I enjoy soup when it's cold. I also enjoy Chowder when it's cold – it's tied, one one! I have to say, when I eat soup, no chunks of stuff that you can't explain. Chowder; hell, pile some of the most organic pieces of substance you can find and make this thing tickle my taste buds from start to finish. Chowder, according to Wiki, is a generic name for a wide variety of seafood or vegetable stews and thickened soups, often with milk or cream. Cream of chicken, call it soup. Cream of celery, call it soup. We all know what's inside a Campbell's can that has cream of _____ struck across it. But when we encounter that loaded word, we always wonder what it is that makes this bowl of warm goodness taste so good. Chowder is one of those words that when put behind a certain subject, gives it that distinguished note all it's own. It's stepped out of the minors, into the majors. And usually your tongue doesn't tell you any different. So 'eat yo' chowda son'
Cheers!
