This chowder is wonderful! It's so thick and flavorful! Just the right thing on this cold windy day. And it really didn't take that much time to make, either. I substituted soymilk for the milk, and soy cheeses for the cheese. I also used sweet onions instead of scallions, since I didn't have any. DH suggested next time we add pieces of ham. I loved it just the way it is. Thanks for the great recipe, Chia!

My mom made this for dinner tonight, and I liked it so much I had to rate it myself! It's thick, creamy, and very tasty! I was especially happy because we used to get a potato soup that I absolutely loved, but because it has dairy in it I can't have it anymore. This has a very similar flavor and consistency, so now I've found a wonderful replacement! Thanks for some great comfort food, chia!
