Great taste and easy to make. If you don't have a lot of time, get Mirepoix (a mix of chopped carrots, onions, and celery) either in the produce or frozen vegetables section. Then you only need to throw everything together, a matter of minutes.

A perfect weeknight meal. This soup is fantastically delicious and comes together in a snap. I used frozen corn kernals and evaporated milk in place of the cream and I'm thinking about how soon I can make it again :)

This was a very nice chowder. It didn't have as much heat as I expected. Very quick and easy to make. I added a little cooked chopped bacon that I had left over from breakfast which gave it a nice smokey taste. Used 2% milk in place of the cream. Thanks for sharing.

We loved this soup. I used the cans of geen chilies, 1 can creamed corn and 1 can whole kernel corn and replaced half-in-half for the heavy cream. I used mexican blend for the grated cheese. Next time I would like to had some cooked sausage. Great recipe. Thanks mersaydees.

Made for Photo Tag Spring 08. Delicious and most of the ingredients you already have in the pantry. I replaced the heavy cream with milk and it was perfect.I also added 1 cup of mashed potatoes I had leftover so that added some thickening to the soup. A big hit in our house.
