I made this chowder for lunch today. It was quite similar (in a way) to a ham and potato soup that I made on Monday (only a little thicker). I did like it for the most part. The texture seemed a bit off. I did not care for the celery in it, it was too crunchy, and I just don't like it. The directions do not specify the saute time, so the onions were more done than the celery. This does have possibilities. I may try this again. Thank you for posting. (Made for "My 3 Chefs")
