Let’s Celebrate National Soup Month!

Recently, in a terrific magazine called “All Recipes” (highly recommended), I came across a recipe for Shrimp Chowder. Now we all know about chowders – clam, mostly, but sometimes salmon, or other fish – easy, nourishing, delicious. But this was the first one I remember using shrimp, which I happened to have a bag of in the freezer. That’s what caught my eye. Otherwise, it called for familiar chowder ingredients: milk, potatoes, onions, celery. So, first problem solved: I already have most of the basics on hand.
