This traditional corn chowder is spicy and prepared in a crockpot. My family enjoys a little heat, and this definitely fits the bill. Of course, you may exclude the spicy ingredients and still have a fantastic chowder. Try different combinations to make your own version.

It has very little kick but is good
Followed recipe but added carrots and celery, it was as a hit, totally Delicious ! Will definitely make again!
So easy to add cooked shrimp or scallops to a bowl and then pour it on top. Easy, but elegant.
Delicious! Used half the chili powder and hot sauce, still plenty of bite. It’s a keeper.
I made it more like a New England chowder by omitting the chiles, only using 1TBS hot sauce and only 1/2 tsp chili powder. I also used 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and 1 1/2 cups milk because I had the cream already in the fridge. Also the grocery store was out of the shredded hash brown so I bought the diced which worked well. Next time I will add a little diced celery, carrot and perhaps a small clove of garlic minced. Bacon bits and/or shredded cheddar on the top as being served would also be nice.
This was really good! Did not add the hot sauce and it still had a little bite. Simmered on the stovetop in a Dutch oven, uncovered for about 1 1/2 hours. Used Southern style hash browns (little cubes) and it worked fine.
Not a favorite. Good, but not like my Mom’s.
This chowder recipe is delish! I made a half recipe and added one 8 oz. brick cream cheese, two hash brown patties broken up, 1 lb cooked shrimp and cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup. WOW!!!
I changed the ham to 1 lb. bacon and only used half and half. I can’t get enough of this chowder.
I made it as directed and it was too sweet for us. The texture was also strange. Will not make again.
I made this EXACTLY as written and it was very good.
I liked this a lot! A great comfort food! I used cream of chicken soup because I don’t like mushrooms, and cut back on the pepper sauce a bit- which was a good call. Next time, think I’ll use chicken instead of ham, chopped (baked) potatoes instead of the shredded hash browns, and sautée the onions beforehand so that they’re softer.
Excellent! Added chicken, but kept everything else as recommended.
Delicious. Did not use as much hot sauce.
I made a few changes. I used cream of chicken soup, no onion or parsley, and only 1 tbsp of hot sauce. It turned out great. I think another tablespoon of hot sauce would have been too much though. My husband agrees and he loves spicy food.
I loved this recipe. However I didn’t use a slow cooker as I didn’t have time. I cooked it in my stock pot on the stove. I also just diced up potatoes to use since I didn’t have frozen hash browns. I diced them small to cook faster. I also doubled the recipe as I have a large family. We loved it and I’m about to make it again even though it’s 90 degrees outside! This time I’ll make sure to use a smoked ham as I think this will make it even better.
This tasted great. I didn’t have cans of green chiles, but had 2 large jalapeño peppers, so used those. I made all else as per the recipe, except one reviewer had said the soup could be thicker, (which I like) so I used 2 cups of cream and 1 cup milk. Very good. I forgot the hot sauce when cooking so put it on when I ate it. Plenty of flavor, definitely a keeper.
I followed the recipe except I left out the hot peppers and added some green peppers via useing potatoes O’Brien.
Made this yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! The only thing I changed was that I added chicken instead of ham (my husband and I are not fans of ham)also cooked and crumbled bacon and added it as well. Will definitely make this again!
I made this recipe without the spicy ingredients, real potatoes (not hash browns), and chicken. It turned out great. Plan to make it again; will add cod next time. This was delicious and will be a welcome winter chowder.
This chowder appeals to the pallet at first, but makes you thirsty later – why? – salt overdose! Find a recipe with more responsible ingredients and methods. Your guests will benefit!
