JFK’s Favorite Chowder

JFK's Favorite Chowder | www.thepeachkitchen.com

I get stoked whenever I receive e-mails about recipes that you want me try….

Really….

I get the feeling like we’re bff’s and you’re inviting me to dinner or lunch in your house to share your fantastic family recipes…

You don’t know how happy that makes me feel…

So to you Ms. Patsy Dodd, a big THANKS for sharing this recipe to me…♥

I would give you a great big hug should I bump into you one of these days…

Patsy said that her father-in-law found this recipe in the Atlanta newspaper in 1960 when JFK was running for President.

It was called JFK’s Favorite Chowder.

That is so cool, huh? The recipe has been around for 50-plus years….

She also said that this soup quickly became her family’s favorite.

This could easily become The Peach Kitchen’s favorite chowder as well…

You know how much of a soup girl I am.

JFK's Favorite Chowder | www.thepeachkitchen.com…plus it has Bay leaf and I’m a little crazy about bay leaves!

Did you know I used it as bookmarks once upon a time together with a laminated maple leaf a missionary gave me?

Yeah, that’s how crazy I am.

The laminated maple leaf is a different story which I’ll share another time… maybe.

On to what I love about this chowder…

Well, it’s pretty thin for a chowder and that’s what I love about it…

It’s very tasty too. Every single ingredient come together into a ball of flavor that simply melts in your mouth but explodes into a single wonderful taste.

I know I should’ve made those Garlic Knots I’ve been meaning to make….I’m sure they will absolutely be perfect for each other.

The original ingredients are written below and beside some of the ingredients are a little modification I made to suit what I have available….

    Wow – that sounds delicious!  I love when a reader contacts or asks for a recipe!  This looks amazing!  I can’t indulge because of a seafood allergy – but wow!  I sure wish I could!  I suspect this would be good if I replaced it with chicken – but not as good as the original!  Thanks SO much for sharing!

    wow your clam chowder looks so good. pefrect for Fall and winter. I’ve never make it at home before. I’ll take your advise and not to put all the salt all at once.

As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for acti As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for activities that will help support Twinkle's Immunity, Brain and Bones. Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
