Seafood Chowder
I created this recipe after watching the "Seinfeld" episode about the Soup Nazi. Priding myself on being the creator of many delicious recipes, I wanted to develop a soup recipe that made people utter, "oh, I gotta sit down." This one comes as close as I may ever get! It's real, and it's spectacular!
