Confetti Chowder

By: Rose Bomba

"Grandma's philosophy was, 'Add a little color to your food, and folks will eat up a storm!' This delightful golden chowder was one of her favorite recipes, and the broccoli, carrots and zucchini in it add flavor as well as color. Grandma served mugs of steaming chowder to warm us as we sat cross-legged before the crackling fireplace in her kitchen."
