Veggie Chowder

rusted_essence's Note:

I may be wrong in calling this a chowder, but this experiment came out great. I threw together my own concept after looking at three or four recipes for creamy soups. A friend of mine brought me an entire gallon of milk, which we will never drink, so I have been attempting to be inventive to use the milk up. I hope you enjoy.

Very gooda chowder! I did make a couple of wee changes. I used half milk and half veggie stock. And I subbed the potatoes for parsnips and peas....as I do not enjoy potatoes cooked in liquid. Very fast and easy recipe. Thank you for sharing!
