This chowder has all the earmarks of a classic winter meal: hearty, warming, and, well, hot. But to be honest, we could serve it any time. Because it is so delicious, so perfect, so butternut-y beautiful, it doesn't matter what season it is. You'll be lapping it up whether there's snow on the ground or birds in the sky. Tip: Make potatoes easier to cut by making a large slice that leaves a flat surface. Place the flat surface on the cutting board and get to dicing!

Meatlovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using diced chicken breasts, stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using whole chicken breasts, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as above.
