If you like soup/chowder, and have a Costco membership...

...I enthusiastically recommend their shrimp & corn chowder. It comes in a 2 pack, from a company called Blount Clam Shack.

Lots of shrimp, lots of corn, and bits of red pepper in a light creamy base - scrumptious! With the cold weather we've been having in the greater Chicago area, this has quite hit the spot. We bought it for the first time last week, and have already gone back twice for more.

Next time I go to Costco, I'll have to get it. Shrimp and corn - what's not to like? I eat soup year round, but it's a must in the cold winter months!
