This was delicious but I think half of the onions would have been better. I used about 3/4 of the onions specified but we still felt there were too many. But otherwise...we loved it!

Very good chowder. I was a little leary using the curry powder as I don't have much experience using it but it really added to the chowder. This was so eash to make, thanks Carla

Finally a chowder that I can eat and not feel guilty about. This is a great recipe. I love chowders, but they can be so fattening. Now I can eat this and be happy. Made exactly as directed.
