  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a small pot, cook the broccoli and onion in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chowder and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve immediately: Broccoli cheddar chowder is best served immediately after it's made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
