Does anyone remembers the Department Store - Lazarus, which is now owned by Macy's? I grew up going there and always would have lunch when shopping. They had the best Broccoli Mushroom chowder ever! When I started cooking, I was thrilled to find they finally shared the recipe. The tarragon spice gives it a perfect compliment. It is scrumptious.
