This is tremendous! I like a soupier chowder so I added 4 extra cups if stock. For fun I also added some bell peppers. :). Thanks for a foolproof recipe!

This was easy and absolutely delicious. We ate it the first time following the recipe exactly with the exception of using a gluten free flour mix in place of the flour. I added cooked broccoli to the leftovers and that was delicious also. Thanks!!!

This was a hit with my guests tonight. I doubled the carrots, garlic and parsley as I like a soup with lots of stuff in it. I also did not use any salt in the soup or in the chicken stock I made. That's why I doubled the garlic and parsley. Also, instead of using frozen corn, I used a can of no-salt added corn. It sure was quick to make once all the chopping was done.

This is really good and easy-to-make soup and is also very open to adaptations! This is also a great emergency dinner recipe -- you know those nights when you can't figure what to have -- well most everything I have on hand or can be subbed in very easily! The changes I made was using 1 leek (which needed to be used soon) instead of the onion, 4 baby potatoes instead of regular potatoes and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I also mixed shrimp and fish together to equal the amount of fish indicated -- very good and filling! Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having often!

An easy way for the whole family to enjoy fish. Delicious. I added a dollop of Patak's Curry Paste, some canned mushroom bits & frozen yellow beans. I imagine you can tweak this recipe to any flavour favourites. I'm not much of a cook, so I was thrilled when my family asked to have this a few times a week!
