Two Potato Chowder
My step mom made this soup for us last year when we were visiting. It’s very tasty and filling. And, it’s easy to whip up! Don’t forget the shredded cheese and bacon to sprinkle on top of the soup when you serve it. This will warm you up to the core on these cold and nasty days we’ve been having!

Recipe from my Step Mom
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Pretty cool recipe – I usually end up spritzing the ground turkey with Worcestershire Sauce when it’s browning – helps make it taste a little more beefy 🙂
I’m a sucker for chili all throughout the year and I especially like that this is made with ground turkey for something healthier!
I tried this tonight and it was WONDERFUL! Thanks for posting it 🙂
I make chili a lot but instead of ground beef or ground turkey I use venison and cut it into small pieces.
