This is a wonderful chowder. It reheats well. We have been eating for lunch all week. (I made two batches.) I used one can of cream corn and 2% milk. Thanks for posting!

Great recipe. I made some substitutions.....I really didn't want a thick chowder, so I used regular corn rather than cream of corn....this made for a much lighter soup, since it is summer right now. I also like that this is not a high-calorie high-fat soup....very good indeed.

I did a bit of tweaking, and this soup turned out very nice. I used yellow chantrelle mushrooms, and added a tsp of cumin, and a tsp of tumerick. I also added a sprinkle of cayanne pepper.

Well Tebo, I just finished making this, thought it would be a good lunch reheated for tomorrow at work and it will, I know because we just ate half of it! (after all those appetizers!) What a wonderful taste treat. Have to admit I doubled the garlic and used 2% milk, don't have any skim, and added a sprinkle of cayanne pepper. This is super soup!! thanks for sharing a good winter treat.
