Boston Chowda and More – Made in Lowell
I’m a regular at Boston Chowda, so I was especially attracted to a post on Lowell City Manager Lynch’s blog today. Lately, there’s been an expansion of the daily offerings way beyond my favorites – clam chowdah, beef stew, chicken vegetable soup and the ultra-delicious Boston garden vegetable soup. Check out his site here and get the full story of what’s made there and who some other customers happen to be – like Bertucci’s, Au Bon Pain and more.
From the Lowell City Manager’s blog:
Boston Chowda produces over 40 varieties of soup, while East Coast Gourmet features a large variety of high quality entrees and appetizers.
One hundred twenty thousand pounds of food is produced and distributed weekly from the unassuming Phoenix Street location.
Proximity to Boston Chowda’s outlet is one of the absolutely best things about being from Lowell. I chop up their gallon chowder bags into quart-sized ziplocs for freezing ahead, (yes, you can freeze it!), and then I get to work polishing off the freshest, best tasting chowder anywhere one bowl at a time. Hannaford’s right next door sells oyster crackers in a big box for cheap, which I keep fresh in my Sterilite 4-quart dry food container right next to my Cheerios.

I have not been to Boston Chowda but I have had the clam chowder i at my brothers
home many times which was very good.
Another meal I enjoyI is fishcakes and beans as.John McCormack former Speaker of the House always ordered this meal when He went to Jimmies Harborside in Boston and topped the meal off with a boul of whipped cream.buy my beans at Cotes.
Pleased to do business with a Lowell business with staff and workers who also live in Lowell. Just got a supply-in of beef stew, Boston Garden Veg and Chicken veg soup – even had a 20% off coupon since I’m an e-mail friend. Service was helpful and beyond pleasant!! Great spot for your lenten menu items too….
