Delicious Corn, Potato and Bell Pepper Chowder

"My family loves this soup, it's very filling so you might just want to serve this as a main meal with crusty bread and maybe a small side salad, the cayenne is optional I like to add it in :)"

  1. I am on a quest for the perfect corn chowder and saw this recipe. I have to admit I was skeptical when I saw the cream of soup listed, but decided to make it anyway, because it's one of Kitten's recipes and hers usually get such great reviews. I did leave out the peppers, as we don't care for them, and left out the cayenne and garlic, just because I didn't think I would like it in this particular recipe. I did like the amount of bacon, but there weren't nearly enough potatoes for us. It was kind of a disappointment for us. I guess I will keep looking. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Kitten, I can clearly see why this is a favorite of your faimily.. the taste is so good it's undiscribeable.. made exactly per your recipe.. I don't know who likes it more dh or me.. made for dinner tonite at 9:30 this morning and yes I eat some then also.. don't know why I hadn't seen this recipe before now. It will be made often.
     
  3. Absolutely loved this soup! Used whole kernel instead of cream style for texture, but the end result was delicious! Also used the pepper mix, red green, yellow slices insted of the fresh ones but what the heck! This is a good thick soup and I will serve it in bread bowls next time I make it!!
     
  4. Two days of snow in Georgia so two days of marvelous soups,38088 and this one. We wont wait till another snow for this one. Chowder and crusty French bread..I think I'm back in Colorado.
     
  5. My husband and I loved this chowder. The only changes I made was that I used at least 4 potatoes and left out the bell pepper. It was wonderful! Oh, and I also added a little bit of bacon grease for flavor along with some cracked pepper. Overall, it deserves a 5 star rating! Thanks so much!
