yummy chowder

About three years ago I discovered I was allergic to dairy. At that time I made a big change in my diet, with great results: I feel a lot better and I lost weight. That's all good and fine, but I miss a lot of things. One of those things is clam chowder. A few days ago I found a chowder recipe that uses soy milk instead of regular. I was sceptical but also excited to try a yummy bowl of chowder. I proceeded to fix it for dinner last night and at the last minute we had unexpected company. The chowder was a huge success!! I savored every bite! I even had to fight Andy for the tiny amount of leftover chowder today at lunch time. Since it had been 2 1/2 YEARS since I'd eaten any, I prevailed and enjoyed it down to the last drop!
