I was happy to share this recipe which is my cheesed up version of potato soup. Using potatoes in soup is one of my favorite things. It keeps the costs down and offers a more substantial food, hearty enough to make a nice supper.
I often use seafood in my chowders, so it was a refreshing change to do this pretty much vegetarian (if you use vegetable broth). I will use either type broth depending on what I have.
This chowder makes an excellent side for any type sandwich. Or you could make it a soup & salad meal for a change of pace.
