This is so good on a cold evening. My sister was in the hospital and they served her a form of this chowder and she asked me if I could put one together. This is what I came up with. She has asked for this many times in the past 10 years, it's about time again! I'm sure you could add other veggies if you wanted to, this is just what my family likes.
