Looking for a delicious new recipe for chowder? Check out these six tempting chowder recipes! Perfect for a fall or winter dinner.
If you’re like us, then you enjoy a good soup or chowder when the weather turns cooler.
Honestly, I could eat soup any time of the year!
But a rich chowder is definitely a cool weather meal for me.
What’s the difference between a soup and a chowder?
It’s all in the ingredients and how they’re cooked.
Technically, chowders are a kind of soup with a creamy, thick broth filled with chunks of meat, vegetables, and potatoes.
There are so many kinds of delicious chowder recipes!

Welcome to our Virtual Dinner Club!
We joined up with four of our blogging friends to create a virtual dinner club back in the beginning of 2021.
Each month we invite a guest host to join in our fun!
Every month we choose a new theme.
On the last Thursday of each month we all share ideas for creating a tablescape for that theme. AnnMarie is the tablescape queen over here at Simply2Moms!
Usually, we each share a recipe for the theme to create an entire menu.
But this month we decided to do something a little different.
To help you get ready for fall and winter cooking, we’re each sharing our favorite chowder recipe.

Don’t they all look so yummy?
Be sure to check out all of our virtual dinner club tablescapes and menus!
Consider This a Chowder Fest!
If you’re new around here, we’re Anne and AnnMarie, two moms who are lucky enough to be besties and neighbors.

We work together to share simple and budget-friendly ideas for decorating, recipes, DIY projects, and tips for life with older teens (and beyond!).
