SEAFOOD CHOWDER

Soup season is officially here!

I love soup for so many reasons. First of all, it’s one of the easiest ways to get a ton of nutrients in your diet. If you are like me and live with an autoimmune disease, you know a nutrient dense diet is key to feeling your best.

I also love it because you can pretty much make soup out of anything. Once you know how to make a soup base, the possibilities are endless. Start with garlic, leeks or onion, celery, carrots, and bone broth. Then you can take it from there with just about anything: vegetables, protein, squash, or in this case, all the seafood!

Here is the recipe for my Seafood Chowder!
