Shrimp Chowder - OAMC

Submitted by ColoradoCookin

"The winter season is here and it's time to take more substantial things to eat to work, at least out here where we freeze our patooties off!! This is really yummy, it's very heavy. You might want to use smaller portions. I package this in little to go containers with a garlic, cheese and herb biscuit wrapped and tossed into the container for a complete meal. This is written for the long way .... I tend to cheat a LOT. Using the precooked bacon, frozen pre-chopped onion/celery mix from the freezer, chicken bullion and water, milk instead of cream. However, this is written for the cook that wants to do it the long way (and probably the right way hehe)"
