New England Clam Chowder #SundaySupper Soup Celebration

This week our Sunday Supper group is celebrating that wonderful Soul Warming, Belly Warming, Glasses Steaming, One Pot Recipe concoction better known as

SOUP!

I love soup of all kinds, so when Pam from The Meltaways suggested a soup theme I couldn’t wait to see all the great ideas! Thanks Pam!
One of my favorite soups is New England Clam Chowder. Truth be told, every time I make it I change it just a little depending on my mood. Sometimes I leave the bacon out. I hear you, I know who would leave bacon OUT? Add carrots, sure. Mussels? Why not? Anyway, as you can see it is an easily adaptable recipe but I always leave it as a white chowder version. Have fun with it and make it your own. Let me know how it turns out!
