With wind chill values reaching as low as -20 and a northwest wind gusting as high as 23 mph, I’m looking forward to a warm fire and a hot bowl of soup tonight. (After all, there has to be something to look forward to on a day like today!)
Thanks to our Souper Bowl promotion on TheFieldPosition, I even have a new Corn Potato Chowder recipe to try. The real beauty of this recipe is that I have everything on hand, so I don’t even have to brave the elements for a quick trip to the grocery store. Plus, meal prep is quick and easy. It doesn’t get much better than that!
