Although there as so many variations and ingredients with different chowders.

While some soups can be thin and light, a chowder is a thicker, creamier and richer consistency.

Like stew, chowder typically contains large pieces of meat or seafood and vegetables.

Notes

I like to marinate my shrimp while the soup is cooking.  
Peel and devein shrimp and place in large ziplock bag.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon of chopped fresh garlic and just enough olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) to incorporate seasonings with the shrimp. 
Place shrimp in refrigerator until ready to use in your chowder.  

This shrimp corn chowder has so much flavor and is so great for winter months and served with a warm crusty bread.

It has lots of flavor and is a great dish for week nights and even picky eaters.

You could easily omit the shrimp and it would be a great creamy corn chowder with sweet corn and tender potatoes

Or add chicken to make it a chicken corn chowder.

You could even add a dash of cayenne pepper if you prefer a spicy kick.
