With the crisp cool air of fall finally coming to use, I decided I wanted to make some sort of chowder. I looked through my recipe box and found this one that I found in the Family Circle July 2010 issue. It was quite yummy! I love crock pot meals, because you just get them all together and let them cook and give your house a yummy aroma!

Crock pots are one of my favorite kitchen items. It’s so nice to throw everything in the pot and then have dinner ready in a few hours. The flavors in this soup sound fantastic. I’m pretty sure I would love each and every bite!
