•4 large diced tomatoes
•1 medium diced onion
•6 small minced green onions
•2 cloves of fresh minced garlic
•2 stalks diced celery
•2 large diced carrots
•1 chopped red bell pepper
•1 medium diced potato
•6-8 sprigs of chopped parsley

This was the worst chowder I've ever had. The conch was tough and the broth was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chowder was good, but I found the conch to be a bit chewy. I think I would prefer to use shrimp or fish in the future.

I thought this chowder was just okay. The conch was a bit chewy and the broth was too salty for my taste. I probably won't be making this again.
