I remember when I first tried this chowder recipe while I was a stay at home parent with my two young children. We were all so excited by how delicious it was! The kids were begging for more before we were even finished eating! I remember telling them a story about how this chowder was created by two brave adventurers who traveled around the world looking for new ingredients to put into their soup! They found succulent shrimp in one part of the world and meaty scallops in another part of the world! They brought these ingredients back to their kitchen where they created this amazing chowder recipe that we are all able to enjoy today! My kids loved hearing this story as we ate our chowder! I am so thankful for this delicious recipe that brings my family together time after time!
