Hearty Shrimp amp Sausage Chowder
From mandysue 15 years ago
- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 4
This hearty and savory chowder is much lighter in taste than the standard cream-based varieties but a filling warm-up on a blustery day. It is easy to make but fancy enough for a casual apres-ski dinner party when paired with crusty bread and a salad.
