Wat is het verschil tussen chowder en bisque?

Chowder and bisque actually share one major difference: texture. While bisque's base is smooth and silky thanks to the necessary step of pureeing, a chowder is chunky, with ingredients like potatoes, vegetables, and seafood floating around and mimicking a stew, even a little more than it mimics a soup. Bisque can have chunks of seafood in it — like a lobster bisque — but the difference here is that the meat is usually cooked separately and then added to the pureed bisque. What shines in a chowder, though, are the hearty chunks of potatoes and veggies that are simmered in the broth to add textural elements and deep, rich flavor.
