Oh my squash. This chowder is truly, simply, really delicious. And fast and easy to make! You can also prepare it vegan or vegetarian by subbing the milk and omitting the bacon, see instructions below. It’s the perfect summer segue into fall and uses the best of the passing season’s bounty. Get your soup bowls ready!
