For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the diced onion in the butter until softened before adding the other ingredients.
If you prefer a smoother chowder, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after the potatoes are cooked. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some texture.
Garnish with fresh chives, a swirl of cream, or a sprinkle of paprika for an extra touch.
Leftovers taste wonderful the next day, allowing the flavors to meld even further.
