- Garlic French bread goes well with this chowder.
- Actually it's essential!
- People who imagine they don't like fish love this soup.
- It makes a hearty one-dish meal.
- In fact, that's the only way I ever serve it.
- The"makings" are always on hand.
- Sometimes I dress it up by serving it in a treasured Meissen tureen (I first warm it carefully with warm water) with its six antique matching soup plates.
- Fruit is the obvious finish for the meal-a big bowl of iced, assorted fruits.
