When you think chowder, your mind probably immediately thinks clam, but let me assure you that there is so much more to this world of soup. Take this sweet potato bacon chowder, for instance. Its creamy and delicious, but theres nary a mollusk involved instead, it relies on a ton of nutrient-rich veggies, and with those come a ton of flavor. (and, well, the bacon doesnt hurt either. ).
