Although often prepared with fish or shellfish, a chowder is actually any
rich soup, usually milk-based, that contains solid ingredients. This
Pennsylvania Dutch recipe is thick with diced chicken, tender corn kernel
and rivels, diminutive dumplings that are added just a few minutes before
the chowder is served.
