Sharing a meal by a nice, warm fireplace

In our household, one of the ways we find comfort is through cooking and sharing food with family. And during cold weather, one of the most comforting meals we enjoy is soup or stew. Even better if there's a fire going and we can sit together enjoying the flames while we dine. This Shrimp and Corn Chowder is very quick to make, delicious, and quite satisfying. I hope you'll try it the next time you need a little Comfort from Home.
