clam chowder sausage fennel recipe

The smokiness of bacon and spiciness of the sausage, together with the aromatics of fennel and bay leaf make this recipe of my favourite chowders. This time, I used spicy moose sausages, but merguez is a great substitute. Serve for lunch with a piece of grilled bread and a glass of white wine.
