Chorizo, Black Bean & Corn Chowder
"This is a lovely chowder with great flavors, and it's quick and easy to make. It's a great way to stretch a small amount of flavourful meat a long way. I used turkey sausage, and it was terrific. Recipe courtesy of my latest favorite cookbook Spilling the Beans."

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
