Sausage Bean Chowder
This sausage bean chowder is wonderful on those cold winter nights! It's easy to make and serves a family of four easily. I always double the recipe and share with neighbors.
Have a soup night drop in! Make 3-4 kinds of soups and chowders and invite the neighbors to drop by for a bowl of soup. My friend, Tammy, does this on Christmas Eve. Great to have plenty of hot food ready for all to enjoy!
PS - This is even better as a left-over! So make the day before you plan to serve!

- Yum! It looks a lot like my recipe, except I use either bacon, or a broth made from a ham bone. It's a great way, right now, to use up tomatoes and peppers from the garden. We can't seem to eat them up fast enough!
