About


I really love to eat soup in the winter, I also think I have been pushing it with my husband with all of the soups and chowders we have been having lately.  Don't get me wrong he likes soup but I think I have a bigger love for it than he does, that is until now. On Sunday we created a chowder that he simply loved, it was such a quick and easy chowder to toss together too. I mean come on, just how can you go wrong with a soup that has sausage, shrimp, taters and corn.
