Scrumptious Chowder

The mister and I, we’ve been home-ing it a lot lately! The chill in the air, is reason enough for us to just call it quits on outdoor ventures of sorts! We have been shamelessly resigning to the comfort of the couch and serial binge watching has certainly been the theme all season long!

One of our fine discovery this winter, has to be the ever so Scrumptious Chowder. We pimped it up with some ginger and added some paprika for extra heat. Read on for the supremely easy recipe, just the perfect hearty dish for a chilly night!
