Confetti Chowder image

Grandma's philosophy was, "Add a little color to your food, and folks will eat up a storm!" This delightful golden chowder was one of her favorite recipes, and the broccoli, carrots and zucchini in it add flavor as well as color. Grandma served mugs of steaming chowder to warm us as we sat cross-legged before the crackling fireplace in her kitchen.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred it to be a bit thinner.

This chowder was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.
