Absolutely delicious! Very nice on a rainy day. I exchanged half the corn for diced carrot for extra flavour and colour. I also sprinkled on a little parmesan instead of the grated cheese. I don't think this would serve 8 people on it's own, more like 4. Very good and guilt free too! -
An easy, tasty, and suprisingly hearty soup for a cold day. The carrots are a must (Thanks dale!). For a twist, I sauteed the chicken in garlic pepper and a little garlic salt. I also added some Mrs. Dash to the soup base. Note- it took almost 30 min for my potatoes to become tender. -
Very tasty. I used a can of corn and added a dusting of Wondra for thickening at the end. Be sure to cut-up the chicken into little bite sizes as larger pieces tend to lack flavor on their own.

Delicious! I added some leftover ham, which was also delicious. My friends and family loved it! -
Pretty good! Couple of notes. 1: Use unsalted fat free chicken stock instead of water. 2: use fresh corn (if you got the time) it adds better flavor, and oh yeah definitely add carrots. 3: make a corn starch slurry to thicken, it adds no bad fats, and marginal calorie count.

I followed the recipe exactly as written since I had not read the reviews beforehand. (I had printed out the recipe several months ago and put it in my "to-try" file.) My family found it to be bland and watery. Since I am on Weight Watchers I did not want to add additional thickeners to the chowder, so I added some poultry seasoning and seasoning salt. Still not much better. I agree adding carrots and garlic may have helped, however I think we'll just pass on this one instead.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
