Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of mushrooms: There are many delicious varieties available, so feel free to mix and match to create your own unique flavor combinations.
Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the chowder: This will help to bring out their flavor and give the chowder a richer texture.
Use a combination of fresh and dried herbs: This will give the chowder a more complex flavor.
Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
