I make this all the time now. It’s mostly a winter favorite, but once in a while in the summer, the craving will hit, and I’ll toss it together. Even though it’s a hot chowder, it’s still pretty refreshing. It’s nice not to have to run up the electricity bill because the air conditioner is running from the oven heating up the house when I do this in the crock pot. It can also be done on the stove in just a few minutes if you prefer. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Julie’s Eats & Treats:
“…my favorite during the fall and winter, so creamy and the perfect comfort food!”
This is going to make you feel good from the inside out!
