Ohhhhhh man was this good. Can't even say enough good things about this chowder. I did make a couple changes: I used heavy cream in place of the milk (but about half what the recipe called for) and more vegetable broth than what the recipe called for, and instead of colby cheese I used about 8 oz of Velveeta. I also used half frozen corn and half creamed corn and wow this was just an amazing recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
