Sweet Pepper Chowder

By: Beverly Leveque

"Ladle out this hearty soup at your next church potluck and you're sure to win praise! Packed with potatoes, carrots and sweet peppers, this soup is nicely seasoned but not too spicy. Beverly Leveque of Fireside, British Columbia shared the recipe. 'My friend's mother made this soup for years. When I decided to open a cafe on the Alaska Highway, I put this chowder on the menu as my house special,' she says."
