  1. I made this one especially cold night, which means my "larder" was a bit low on supplies as it was winter & I was snowed in. So, I was short on celery, which made a massive taste difference. Without celery, the chowder was very sweet and thick, bordering on the bland side. I noticed the recipe doesn't call for any spices or seasonings; I think some paprika or nutmeg would work, especially if added to the roux because the oil from the butter will bond to the oils of the seasonings and make the flavors stand out.
