This was a wonderful chowder. The flavor was very good. Easy to put together, I followed the directions to a tee except for using a bag of frozen corn over the canned. I think I used around a half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter of pepper for seasoning. I used homemade chicken stock which was awesome. I think I might add a little flour to thicken it some next time, an easy thing to change to my preference. I was thrilled come dinner time to only have to toss some bread in the oven and serve up the bowls of soup. Nice. Made for Crock Pot Photo Challenge.

I cooked everything on top of the stove and the chicken came out very tender and delicious. I used 5 good size potatoes, and thickened the broth, because we like it on the thicker side. I served ours in homemade whole wheat bread bowls to everyones delight!
