Creamy , thick tasty chowder. This is so quick to put together and the pureed vegetable base is lovely and you could easily chnage this up and add different types of seafood/fish. My pureed veggies were very thick so I used a mix of skim milk and light cream instead of a heavy cream but it still was so thick and creamy Made for Belly Warmers January Event
