New England Clam Chowder ~ America

[Angie]

OMG!

What a friggin' disaster my chowder was First of all, I know my entire family is lactose intolerant and yet I made it anyway

I substituted half of the milk for a chicken broth to accommodate this....it didn't work at all. The soup was very tasty but no one could eat it because we swell up like blow fish if we do. I had to drain the milk/broth mixture from the rest of the chowder ingredients and then I had to get creative.

All wasn't a total loss though because I had a bag of frozen veggies and a large beet (fresh from the veggie market). I cut the beet up into cubes and put it in a pot then added the frozen veggies and let it all cook with chicken broth [I love cooking with chicken broth] When the beets were tender I added it all to the chowder and....(((viola)))<---I think that's how you spell it

No pics avail because I had hungry teenagers who devoured it...hahaha I don't even have a name for it.

I am gonna make a bananna pudding soon and I want to make a baked fish dish too.
