I've been away from the blog for a few days. We've had a chaotic week here in my house. My grandfather passed away this past week. And, we've been battling yucky sickness in our household since last weekend.
On a brighter note, my little nephew was born two days ago. My sister went into sudden, quick labor in the middle of the night. 911 had to be called and she gave birth in a grocery store parking lot in the back of an ambulance just ninety minutes or so after her water broke. Isn't that quite a story to tell her newborn son when he's older! My sister is doing great and little baby Carter couldn't be cuter!
Not a lot of home cookin' has been happening in my kitchen in recent days. So, I was happy to get back to work on a new recipe and blog post.
My dear friend, Carrie, shared this recipe with me and told me that I just had to try this chowder. It is loaded with so many ingredients that I love (and usually keep on hand), so I was super thrilled to give it a whirl. I completely trust her culinary opinion, so I had a feeling that I was in for a real treat! I was not disappointed. With temperatures hovering around zero (and below) here in Michigan all week, this soup was a welcome addition to my menu today.
The recipe comes from Brown Eyed Baker. Yields 5 - 7 servings.
