Fantastic!
I made this recipe as written, using about 8 cups of water to cover the soup ingredients. As written the recipe makes a good base recipe. It is so-so, on the blander side with plenty of potatoes (I used 5 russets). It is not thick and creamy like a chowder as well, it is thin/watery. With some tweaks this could be really good.
This is a pretty good soup. Notice I said soup, not chowder. Real chowder is milk based and this os definitely water based. It was tasty but I wont be making this again. I was looking for chowder and didnt get it.
Four stars as written, could be 5 stars with changes. The changes I made were to add an extra can of corn, 1 tsp sage, and 2 tsp red pepper flakes. I used 3 c broth instead of bullion cubes and water. I found the recipe still lacked the amount of corn I was looking for, and was mostly onion (LOTS of onion!) and potato. I will save this recipe, but next time I will halve the onion, probably use 4 potatoes, and triple the corn. I used coconut milk instead of evaporated milk and coconut oil instead margarine. I also used 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper as a guide for how much you might want to use.
Chowder hit the spot tonight, and used several items that needed to be cleared from my pantry, fridge and freezer. Perfect!
Pan fried onions, ham, celery and whole kernel corn in the 2 Tbls margarine. And replaced bullion with a can of campbells cream of celery soup and a can of cream of chicken soup. Very Good !
This was my first corn chowder. I read the reviews before I made it and decided to add a can of cream corn, a few carrots, some Italian spices like sage, thyme, basil and of course a little garlic powder. I used a can of chicken broth instead of water and when almost cooked I used a potato masher to smooch (not all, just a little) the veggies to make my broth a little thicker. I think it turned out fantastic and just in time for that cold air coming through.
Always a favorite on a cold New England day! A dinner my whole family will eat, no complaints.
Used 1 can reg corn; 2 cans cream corn. Added ham later so it wouldn’t get rubbery. Delicious!
Used a litre carton of chicken stock, a cup of water & 1 chicken bouillon cube, instead of the “water to cover”. Also used 1.5 cups of real pre made bacon bits, instead of the ham. Used regular milk & thickened the soup with a bit of corn starch. Everyone loved it.
Yes I am usually not a soup fancier, but this soup really turned out very well. i modified the recipes for 2 people and instead of chicken bouillon used low sodium beef broth . Lots of room to improvise.
Delicious!!!
We prefer it thicker so I added flour and also 8oz cheddar cheese.
Everyone at potluck LOVED this soup.
Made this today for an evening meal after a long day in the mountains sledding…it was a hit. I did use mexicorn instead of regular corn and thickened up the soup some. Very tasty.
Very good comfort food.
I felt that this was more of a soup than a chowder since it was not think. Also, it was missing something
This was not chowder. It was a watery mediocre soup. It was edible but when you are making chowder and expect chowder, this is beyond disappointing.
used 3 boullion cubes (maybe use 4), added a can of creamed corn, little sage at the end. Nice with some cheese
I didn’t have any celery so I just skipped it. And I only had 1 cup of ham so I used bacon ends as well and cut out the margarine. It came out really really good.
Good flavor but waaaaaaaaaaaaay too thin. When I think of a chowder I think of a thick soup, this was very liquidy.
