To prepare, simply heat the chowder in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot and bubbling. Alternatively, you can heat it in a microwave-safe bowl, covering it loosely and microwaving on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. Be careful when handling the hot soup. It can be served as is, or you can add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for extra flavor and visual appeal.
