Manhattan Seafood Chowder image

This is an excellent recipe given to me by a friend. I've made several adaptations, and love the way the house smells when this is cooking. Serve with a loaf of crusty French Bread, tossed green salad and supper's ready ! And I think Ann D.'s suggestion to add some diced red bell pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce is an excellent idea !!! I've made the changes below.
