Wonderful hearty soup full of flavor. I used fresh corn. It was not as thick as I prefer this type of soup, so I thickened it with a small amount of Wondra at the end.
Great recipe but I do a few things differently. Instead of olive oil I fry about 5-6 strips of bacon in the soup pan and then saute the veggies in the fat. My next trick is that I smoke my corn and potatoes first, you’ll get an added kick of flavor and give it that backwoods taste. I also add smoked chicken breasts, and when I serve the chowder I crumble some of the bacon in my bowl for the final touch!
Read the notes from others before making. I cut my potatoes a little larger and added celery along with the onions. I also added fresh corn. It was thick and delicious!
No Spices? Kinda just tastes like vegetables in milk. Maybe cheese will help. Cheese fixes everything
Terrific recipe … added a bit of chicken and it was awesome.
This soup turned out great for me. I used corn I had blanched and frozen, so it was very sweet and tasty. I followed the recipe, and it tastes great! I let it simmer a while longer because my peppers were too crunchy, but other than that, I followed to the letter.
It was very tasty, Next time I will add more flour to make it thicker. I used chicken broth.
Loved it. Light soup for a summer evening.
I made it just like the recipe says and it was delicious! I did add crumbled bacon just before serving.
I added bacon and more herbs and it was good.

My husband loved it. I added onions and celery. I cooked it in a slow cooker came out excellent
Excellent! I added 1/2 tablespoon of flour. I used 1 large russet potato and 1 medium. Also eliminated green pepper, substituted chopped carrots. Will definitely make it again
Delicious
A good base recipe.
It was ok not great. Was runny and bland. I used fresh corn and half and half. I added some red pepper flakes which helped but still bland.
I followed the recipe except used low fat half and half. It turned out well, the wife and daughter having seconds. I personally found it a bit bland but a few drops of tobacco gave it a nice tingle. Visually the color could be more appetizing and next time would cook the potatoes less as they disintegrate. Worth a try.
7.30.16 I had really sweet summer corn which made this chowder really good. Fresh corn is the only way to go on this folks, so put that frozen corn back into the freezer. The chowder wasn’t quite as thick as I would have preferred, so I did add additional flour to get it to the consistency I like. Next time, I’ll cut the potatoes into larger pieces, maybe 1/2”. I know that’ll add some time to partially cook them, but I think I’ll like that better, and the chowder’s eye appeal will improve, as well. I used fat free half-and-half, and it worked well. I think crumbled crisp bacon would be a nice garnish. KandyKates, enjoyed your chowder!
