Sweet Potato Chowder Recipe (With Curry)
This sweet potato chowder with curry was delicious despite this blasted warm weather!
It’s spring and many of you around the world are still sitting in perfectly good winter weather. Snow, rain, cold, you guys have all the luck. I really need to move out of California. Blast this sunny, warm weather!! Give me rain or fog any day of the week! (And yes, I’m serious, by the way…)
Despite the warm, sunshiny weather around here, I made this clean eating curried sweet potato chowder. Maybe I’m rebelling against the intense heat I know will arrive in just a few short weeks because honestly, I’d like to crawl back inside of winter if I could. Or at least what we Californians call winter. I might be singing a different tune if I was sitting under several feet of snow, but I don’t think so. Personally, I think I’d love every icy second of it. It must be my German blood. I’m just not a hot weather girl. I positively wilt.
So I cranked up my fan and enjoyed a hot bowl of chowder despite the sun blaring down on me through the window. I’m stubborn that way. Maybe I’m the only person in the world that reacts this way, but too much sunshine makes me cranky.
I mean, I need my fair share of vitamin D, but too much is just…. yuck.
So I’ll take my pouty self, move myself to the coolest part of the house and have another bowl for dinner tonight. Take that California sun!!!
