Hi there everyone!!! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. Hope you all are as excited about this chilly fall weather as I am. The colors have faded here in North Idaho & the trees are bare.  It won’t be long before the snow has fallen. Which means it’s time for soup. I love throwing a bunch of ingredients into the slow cooker & smelling that wonderfulness drifting through the house all day long.  Then when it’s dark & it’s dinner time we can sit down for a warm bowl of something delicious. My current favorite is this slow cooker Chunky Clam Chowder.

This is hearty, filling & delicious. I thought about a side salad – but I was so happy I decided against it. We were stuffed after just one helping.

My kids LOVED this – I think I need to make a double batch with the second cooker because there wasn’t any left. It’s so easy that I think next time I’ll let the kids make it. Add a little garlic bread on the side – perfection.

Clam Chowder doesn’t have to be complicated.
