GOOD! The first time I made this recipe, I used turkey sausage because it's all I had but it turned out good! I think you can substitute any kind of sausage you like... My 12 y-old daughter liked it very much, she ask for it every week ! She calls it: the corn soup.

Great recipe! It was fast & easy! In a pinch for quick weeknight dinner, I used canned potatoes. We're also a cheesey kind of family, so we sprinkled some shredded montery jack on top, and it was really yummy! Serve with fresh, crusty Italian bread and you have a filling and delicious meal for the family.

Made one little addition in that I used 4 cups of frozen corn, mostly 'cause I like corn! Also used a mild Italian sausage, & THIS CHOWDER IS EXTREMELY TASTY, & the recipe a definite keeper ~ Thanks so much for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC]

I've never had anything like this before and I liked it. It had just the right amount of Old Bay Seasoning. You don't want to over due on that seasoning if you ask me. I had to use 2% milk as that is all I had. I did not even have any powdered milk to make my own evaporated. I'll make this again. I adopted this chef for the *Spring PAC 2008* game
