This is a very delicious filling chowder, perfect this time of year for warming up little cold tummies. I too initially found this recipe at Wal-Mart and was skeptical about the combination of ingredients, however was pleasantly surprised and wouldn't change anything. I prefer to garnish with fresh dill. Thank you for posting this recipe here, I have been looking for this exact recipe for the past couple years. I have tried other variations and none are quite this good. Thanks again!

There Are No Names
Although these ingredients may not seem appealing to some people, the end results are surprisingly wonderful! The soup is pleasantly mild and has a subtle sweet flavor to it. The only thing I added was some chopped onions. I used fat free half and half to cut some fat. Thanx for posting this yummy creamy chowder!

Hi! My name is Terri. I have been happily married for 28 years to Jim. We have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy. I have a grandaughter, Delilah. She is 18 months old. We live in a rural area. We are animal lovers. We have 8 dogs, 6 cats, 2 rabbits and we have lots of ducks and geese. I love to cook and love to try new recipes. My favorite cookbook is an old Betty Crocker Cookbook that I have had before I was married. I like to sew, crochet and to do crafts. I am a 4-H Club Leader and I have a great group of kids this year. They keep me very busy and I wouldn't have it any other way. We do 3 fairs in the area. I also like to go to auctions, yard sales and I am always buying items from the kids that they are selling to raise money for school, church or a youth group. <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap3.jpg"> <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"> imghttp://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/luecke/i-recommend-participant.jpg <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> [img]http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/luecke/i-recommend-participant.jpg[/img]
