This chowder is delicious!! My family gave it two BIG thumbs up!! I made it exactly as written. It was easy and went together quickly. The only change I would make is that next time I will double the recipe so that I can have some leftovers the next day. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. It is definitely a keeper!!

I am a 27 year old house wife. I love to cook, especially in the winter. I enjoy painting, sculpting, reading, and playing with my 22 month old daughter.
I remember sitting on the kitchen counter as a young girl watching my mom cook her fabulous meals. She never minded having me hang around the kitchen while she cooked, and I think that is why I like cooking so much now.
I hope that the few recipes I have entered are helpful to some of you out there, but if you're looking for low fat recipe's, stay away from mine :)
