For a richer flavor, use a combination of sharp and extra-sharp Cheddar cheese. If you prefer a smoother chowder, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend it after the potatoes are tender. Garnish with extra chopped chives and a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color. For a smoky flavor, add a 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the cumin and sage. This chowder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
