This chowder had really great flavor and I loved it. I thought it was sweet and spicy at the same time. My daughter is a picky eater and she didn't care for the texture of the soup but everyone else seemed to really enjoy it.

4/13/2010 02:28:17 PM Report AbuseI used both yellow and red pepper, and added venison chunks (precooked) for a little more protein. Oh, and I don't have a dutch oven (really want one!!) so I used a large frying pan with lid. I also substituted chili powder for the cayenne.
