It’s packed with onions, smoky applewood uncured bacon and even more clams than a traditional Campbell’s® chowder.
Chowders and lobster bisque increase in popularity during the summer months,2 appealing to the 70 percent of consumers who want seasonal menu offerings at restaurants.3Chefs can serve Campbell’s® ReserveLobster Bisque with Sherry on the summer menu as a stand-alone appetizer or side dish and can also use it as an ingredient in seasonal and time-saving recipes.

“Seasonal flavors keep menus fresh, and our seafood soups are ideal for summer specials,” Campbell’s Foodservice Executive Chef Gerald Drummond said. “They’re delicious and filled with high-quality ingredients, including sustainably sourced clams in our clam chowders, and none of the artificial flavors or added preservatives that guests avoid. With the different serving applications, operators can get more use out of one product and chefs can get creative.”
