This zesty cheesy chowder hits the spot on a blustery fall day. I like to serve it with hot cornbread and crisp apples and pears.

Hey Doc! ;) Have been wanting to try this all season,and finally made it, today. This was fabulous! :) I mean high thumbs up all around. A few minor changes, but nothing to compromise the taste and structure of the recipe, so here's what I did: I used raw cheddar brats...just removed their casings so they brown up like any other sausage. I started that, but added the veggies as I chopped, and included baby bellos, chunked. I took it to step 4, then just added it all to my slow cooker and turned it onto high. Let it do it's thing for a couple hours, then continued with the recipe. I need to ADD calories to my diet, so I did use 1pt half and half and the rest milk, and I used the full 8oz cheddar, but added about 4 oz of pepper jack, too. Served it just with sourdough baguettes, but would be perfect for a bread bowl. Thank you for this recipe. It is, without a doubt, going to be on the soup "rotation"!

Hi who, read this one in the "recipe review" section of The Refugees and it sounded so good. I've bookmarked it and think that will be my next soup to make on a cook fall day. Sounds great!

OK Whodunit, I made, we had a cup of it....and it ROCKED!!! woo hoo....loved this soup! A must for a blustery day as you had said.....but just as scrumptious on a 70 something day here in Jersey....family loved it...the only thing I did different was to use Hot Turkey Sausage, and fat free half and half instead of the milk. Delicious!! Thank you for sharing!

Looks delish! I'm saving it to try later. We're still cleaning up from Hurricane Ike! UGH! We were without power for 5 days, lost a LOT of food, trees down everywhere. And we live in Western PA! I can't imagine being in the south. Ike was only a category one when it hit here!

Yes, this is one to be proud of! I will probably try this with chicken instead of sausage. I'm not a big sausage fan. Thanks for mentioning this in the group!
