There are many versions of this wonderful recipe, people actually argue over what ingredients should or shouldn't be in it! People also argue if it is a chowder, a soup or a stew! Many nationalities claim it as their recipe, so I won't go into that, don't want more arguing! LOL You can have this as thick or thin as you like it by adding more broth or water. One thing is for sure, when you make it.... what a wonderment of melded flavors is created! Enjoy! **You can add or omit what items your family likes, perhaps add more cabbage? Omit the pork and beef? These are my photos
