We have been so spoiled here in Dallas with a very mild winter. And then just like that it’s freezing cold, with ice and snow.
I know, I know I should not be complaining (my Northeast friends will agree), but it is true, you do get “soft” when you are not used to cold weather. I am freezing!!! So what do you do when you are freezing? You make chowder!
This chowder is easy to make and of course tastes fantastic with the bacon on top. I also love the creamy texture and taste the canned coconut milk gives this chowder. If you don’t have canned coconut milk, I’m sure regular milk will work just fine.
