Allergens

Shellfish: Contains crab meat, which is a shellfish allergen.
Dairy: The soup contains cream and butter, making it unsuitable for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
Gluten: The chowder itself is likely to be gluten-free, but it’s important to check for any potential gluten in the seasoning or thickening agents used in the soup. Cross-contamination could also be a concern.
Eggs: Some chowder recipes may include eggs (in the cream or broth), so it’s best to check with the restaurant if you’re avoiding eggs.
Soy: Depending on the seasoning or broth used, there may be soy-based ingredients, though this is less common in traditional chowder recipes.

Recommendations

For a lighter version: To reduce the calorie and fat content, ask for a smaller portion or request less cream in the chowder. You could also ask for the soup to be prepared with a lower-fat dairy alternative, though this might affect the richness of the flavor.
Pairing Suggestions:
- Salads: The soup pairs wonderfully with a House Salad or Caesar Salad for a balanced meal.
- Bread: A side of warm, crusty bread or a dinner roll would complement the creamy soup and help soak up the flavors.
- White wine: A Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc would pair nicely with the richness of the soup and the sweetness of the corn and crab.
- Light side dish: For a lighter meal, consider pairing the chowder with grilled vegetables or crispy Brussels sprouts.
For gluten-sensitive diners: Check with the server if the soup contains any gluten or cross-contamination risk, especially in the broth or thickening agents. You can request a gluten-free roll or bread on the side.
For seafood lovers: This dish is ideal as a starting appetizer or a light entrée for those who love seafood, as the crab adds a delicious depth of flavor to the soup.
