If you like soup/chowder, and have a Costco membership...

...I enthusiastically recommend their shrimp & corn chowder. It comes in a 2 pack, from a company called Blount Clam Shack.

Lots of shrimp, lots of corn, and bits of red pepper in a light creamy base - scrumptious! With the cold weather we've been having in the greater Chicago area, this has quite hit the spot. We bought it for the first time last week, and have already gone back twice for more.

1. Some day I'd love to shop at COSTCO.

4. It's fun, and can get expensive. But they have good stuff.

5. I love their steaks. My cousins have served them. Yummy.

7. Go with your cousin as a guest, most Costco members love to let others experience going.

8. I will think about it. Right now I don't have room in my freezer.

9. My aunt and uncle always get their steaks at Costco

and they're as good as any steak you'd get in a restaurant. My uncle cooks them on the grill; I'm not sure what he puts on them (maybe olive oil and garlic salt?) but oh boy! Are they ever good!

10. I think COSTCO mechanically tenderizes them. They

are better than restaurant steaks.

11. I agree. I first wrote that they were as good, if not better,

than any steak you'd get in a restaurant, but I changed it. I don’t know why. Maybe I thought that was too hyperbolic.

12. They taste like restaurant steaks used to. I sometimes

stop myself from writing things down too. Thank God for cell phones and computers. I need to make revisions all the time.

2. That sounds so good. Thank you very much for sharing with us.3catwoman3.

6. Thank you for the recommendation, 3catwoman3!

Next time I go to Costco, I'll have to get it. Shrimp and corn - what's not to like? I eat soup year round, but it's a must in the cold winter months!

13. Sounds scrumptious, google says my area might feature Target or a health food place. Thanks.

*** ON EDIT: Found them at the natural foods outlet - the chowder, and a gumbo. But got tempted away by a double crust chicken pot pie and a pot roast dinner. Now know where things are, so next time for the rest. Thanks for the tips!

14. I went on Costco's website to find it and came up empty.

I tried "chowder"; I tried "shrimp and corn chowder"; and I tried "Blount Clam Shack" - nothing.

Maybe it's a regional thing?

15. I entered all those terms in the search bar of my local Costco...

...and it also did not find a match, even tho it is in the store. Curious.

16. Well then, I'll just have to go to my local Costco and see if they have it in store.

Thanks for checking, 3catwoman3!
