Zucchini Garden Chowder image

Years ago, when my husband and I put in our first garden, a neighbor suggested zucchini since it's easy to grow. Our kids were reluctant to try new things, so I used our squash in this cheesy chowder-it met with solid approval from all of us! -Nanette Jordan, Flint, Michigan

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.
