hmmm... tell us more about that chowder, Jan, please???? your recipes are legendary around these parts, you know!

i have tinnitus that ENT suspects is caused by TMJ .... supposed to eat soft diet for a week. been eating alternately soft fakey chiken noodle soup (also working through the end of a cold) and mashed potatoes w/ a brown gravy. my chiken noodle soup features lots of overcooked veggies, red lentils to add creaminess and some nooch.

might concoct something else today.... maybe a green lentil soup... but your chowder sounds interesting, Jan!
