Sausage Chowder

Mom discovered this recipe while we were living in Denver.  It has become one of our families classic warming, comfort foods.  It has also become part of our Halloween night tradition, before the kids go out trick or treating.  And though many of the men in the family like to refer to it as "chili"... those of us who cook, know it's CHOWDER!
