I loved how easy this recipe was, and it sure tasted good too! I followed the instructions to the last letter, but since I had scaled down to 1 serving, my potatoes were cooked much faster. The combination of corn, potatoes, and milk is quite something! I had this with 7-Grain bread for a fabulous dinner. Thanks Kari!

This is an AWESOME recipe!! I couldn't resist the urge to add celery, so I did and it was great!! I used frozen corn, and served with a little parsley sprinkled over top. This was WELL-recieved by all, and I think next time I will serve it with an optional topping of bacon crumbles:) Thanks so much for this recipe:) ~Manda

Great recipe but tweaked it to taste more like my mom's. I fried some bacon and sauteed the onion in the bacon fat. I added 2 tsp of chicken base to the water. I subbed out the milk for evaporated milk. After the potatoes are fork tender I added an additional can of evaporated milk and 1 can of creamed corn with a pinch of cayenne and a pinch of saffron for color. Next time I will add more flour and water to give it a more creamy texture. I know there's a lot of changes but I did try the original recipe first, found it good but slightly bland and watery. Hey, it's tough to compete with someone's mom's cooking! Thanks for the recipe!

As is, I would rate it lower. My changes, I would rate it a 5 star! Instead of water I used chicken broth. I lessened the amount of corn used and upped the amount of potato and onion. I also doubled the amount of salt/pepper. As for the flour/water (I used chicken broth) mixture, I did about 1.5 what the recipe says so it would be a bit thicker. Since changing these things I have made the recipe several times! I make a double batch and have some for leftovers. The next day I just add a little bit more chicken broth to thin it out after thickening in the fridge, it's perfect!

This corn chowder was really great! I was making my DH clam chowder so I made a 1/2 batch of this for myself since I don't care fo rclam chowder. I put some diced bacon in this, and sauted my onions in the bacon fat. I also subbed in 1/2 cream instead of all milk which added to the velvety taste of this chowder. I will be making this all winter, and the great thing is that there are so many variations that can be made to this recipe.
