Garden Chowder

Okay girls - lets get this blog going again cause I am in need of some new yummy recipes!

I found this recipe for one of my favorite soups, from one of my favorite restaurants in Utah - "ZUPAS cafe". If you haven't tried it - you are missing out. Hope you like this as much as we did. Even better, all the ingredients are all found at your local IGA :)
