Shrimp Chowder

SUBMITTED BY: Michelle Conley

"'This zippy chowder is chock-full of shrimp and vegetables, so it satisfies hearty appetites, but the skim milk and reduced-sodium broth help keep fat and calories to a minimum,' writes Michelle Conley of Evanston, Wyoming. 'It tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have melded overnight.'"
