Summer Vegetable Chowder - Lunch Version
This season I jumped at the opportunity to whip up a batch of this soup, the second my first zucchini came in. It's light and full of fabulous vegetables so on days where I don't feel like a salad this is a great lunch with a great serving of vegetables.

Join the discussionI made this today without the hot dogs as well and it packs quite the spicy punch! Too much cayenne I think. My kids won’t eat it 🙁
Oh I’m sorry to hear that! I didn’t adjust the original recipe from threemanycooks.com maybe you can comment on their site as well
I made this today, and my family really enjoyed it. We substituted 3 slices of bacon for the hot dogs and added quite a bit more salt than the recipe called for. We also added a few drops of Franks Red Hot sauce, too, to our bowls for additional flavor. Very good!
This was great with kielbasa and 1/2 the cayenne. That made it warm without involving the mucus membranes.
