Hearty and wonderful tasting! I used water instead of chicken stock to make this vegetarian, and used green bell peppers and dried rosemary and basil, since that's all I had on hand. I crushed the dried herbs before adding them to the chowder, which really causes the flavours to burst out beautifully! I will definitely make this again; thanks Braunda!

Overall, good recipe. A little thick for me so I added extra water. Also, a little light on flavor so I ended up adding some curry powder which made it excellent. Overall, will be making again. Thanks!!

This recipe is a keeper. It's quick to make (I used frozen corn), is nice and creamy without the cream, and tastes wonderful. Thanks!

I made this the other night and it was very easy....very tasty....I used frozen corn....but that was the only change I made. Will definitely make this again as I love a hearty soup that can work as a full meal!
