I made this chowder for New Year's Day but forgot to review it. A real winner we thought. Had some of that great creole spicy seasoning that we could definitely taste. Of course I believe bacon makes anything taste good and this was no exception. Had that wonderful smoky flavor. Hopefully, after eating your chowder, we will have good luck this year. My family and I thank you.
