This chowder accompanied by French rolls with herb butter was the perfect meal for this cool, rainy day. The chowder was super easy to make and didn't take long at all (which was great after a long day at work). The only change I made was the addition of a little garlic powder and parsley. After putting the chowder in bowls, I did add a touch of red pepper to mine (just because I like a little spice in my food). Everyone in the family agreed that this one is a definite keeper.
