I’m thinkin’ I may cook this for supper if the hubby is in the mood for chowder. My sweet dearest hubby went crawfishin’ for me yesterday and boiled ‘em with some corn and tators so I may cook this with the left over corn, tators, and onions!

Wow, great recipe! I used vegetable stock (to make a vegetarian version), skipped the green onions, used cayenne pepper instead of jalapeño, and orange bell pepper and it came out great! I followed your lead and used what I had available. I want to try your original, vegetarian-version, sometime but the substitutions still provided a great chowder. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

Yes the pie filling already has spices and sweetener added like cinnamon, nutmeg and pie spice. I always use just pumpkin and season to MY taste. I highly recommend the Pumpkin Pie recipe by Eagle Brand Milk. Best I’ve ever had or made.

Christy, I’ll have you know that the world champion clam chowder for 3 years running, comes from…

wait for it…

Florida!

Yep, a little restaurant in Cedar Key has won for the last 3 years, beating those up-north chowder snobs at their own game.

I made this and threw in a lb. of hot sausage , cooked and drained. Dee-lish!
You are so right about southerners being pansies. My oldest daughter lives in Chicago. When I went to visit 2+ years ago in early February to see her in a performance, they were in the midst of a freeze alert. OMG! The wind chill factored to -40 (temp was 4 degrees) I have never felt cold like that IN MY LIFE! The day I left, (4 days later) temps finally got up to double digits. When I got off the plane in Huntsville, it was 42 and balmy by comparison…I thought “Lawd, I could run butt nekkid in this fine weather!” Love Southern Plate…your recipes are rivaled only by your commentary! Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season!

Delicious!! I just made this for dinner, adding some smoked sausage to it, and it was a hit. Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes.
