Desra mussel chowder
"In the middle of winter when it's cold outside and we have a fire going I love to do this delicious, quick and easy chowder. We have with freshly baked bread and mulled wine. Heavenly. My husband used to sell mussel chowder and this recipe has been fine tuned from his original recipe."
