I am very picky about the texture of veggies in soup - most people WAY overcook them, IMO. So depending upon the particular veggie, I will either add it later than some might, or I will cook it separately and then toss it in towards the end. I wonder if you did that - cook the carrots separately - if it wouldn't keep the other ingredients from turning too purple.One year I tried using purple carrots in my turkey soup. Won't do that again! Even though it tasted fine, the noodles, potatoes, and broth turned a very unappetizing purple color.

If that's a good dark Porter or Stout in the glass I bet a cup os so of that might have been a nice flavor in the chowder
Was it a red or a white sauce. I love linguini with both red and white but I guess I have to say that my preference is the red clam sauce.
White. It was actually more like they just sprinkled some parmesan on the noodles then dumped some clams out of a can onto it, rather than making a sauce. Such a shame.

Thanks geeme. The bad thing about making the cream-style soups is you ca't see the ingredients like a broth soup. I'm just happy my son loves clam chowder. Many moons ago, when I was the cook at a day care center, fresh made clam chowder was one of the kid's favorite soups.
JayT, that crab soup sounds really yummy. That would be a good soup to have at work on a cooooooold jobsite.
+ 1kids eating the ingredients slated for dinner.....been there!

Soup time again. I can't 100% tell you what's in it, as far as seasonings go, because it was a collaborative effort. But this is what I know went in:
Roasted yukon gold potatoes and roasted sweet onion, red onion, butternut squash, bell pepper, poblano pepper, zucchini, yellow summer squash, rocoto, mushrooms, sea salt, garlic, cumin, bay leaf, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, flour, chicken stock, reisling, and roasted chicken. Good combo, especially as we face the temps dropping and snow coming. Brrr!
Edit: Like I said, this was a collaborative effort. I had some ingredients ear-marked for the soup, but also threw in some veggies left from the pizza TD. Then my son and I both contributed to the seasoning. I had also purchased a quart bottle of half-and-half, as I had the intention of making it a creamy soup. However, my son dumped in the reisling before I added the half-and-half, and I ended up deciding not to use it. When I say "dumped in", I mean just that - he put probably 3/4 of an unopened bottle into the soup.
