Clam Chowder

Yes, we are playing Mansions of Madness in the background.


Clam chowder is amazing and one of my favorite soups. In case you were wondering from the above picture, I love adding pepper to my chowder for some reason. Lots and lots of pepper. This is added after the recipe is complete and only to my own bowl, so don’t worry if you don’t like that much pepper.

We finally have some nice rainy weather here in SoCal. This is, of course, after we went through another heat wave…in the fall…in November. But I can’t complain, I live for this cold, wet weather we have now.

My friend Val was down for the week and it was great since we spent the entire time playing games and cooking good eats. He gave me this recipe for the chowder and I altered it to make my own variation of it. I think you could even make this dish without the clams and it would still taste amazing.

Hello!

Avatar for ApronWarriorI’m Carolann and I’m obsessed with food. Seriously, I live and sleep thinking about food. I’m on a mission to create doable, real food recipes
from scratch as well as living a more natural life style. I also believe that life should be celebrated and one of the best ways to do that is around a dinner table with friends and family (+ a game for some extra bits of laughter and edge of your seat competition). If you’re new here, I invite you to check out some of my favorite recipes or my story that lead me to real food.
