MMM, this is good. I used my potato masher just a little at the end to break up some of the potatoes and help thicken the soup. I used the turkey bacon but I think I will try 3 slices next time. I don't think the flavor would suffer at all. Thank you for a recipe I will make again.

Easy, Quick and Tasty! I followed the recipe using bacon; and added some chopped fresh parsley for a touch of green. Thanks for posting a delicious chowder which I tagged for the BellyWarmers event in Cooking Photos.
