This chowder is tasty, creamy, cheesy, and hearty. It's great for a day where there is a little nip in the air. I followed the recipe exactly except for adding some corn that I had leftover from a previous meal. The chowder is easy to make and packs tons of flavor. Yum! -
My husband and I were delighted with how delicious this chowder tasted. The only addition I made was a 1/2 t. marjoram. Had a thick, creamy texture and a wonderful rich cheesy flavor. Next time, I might add some ham, bacon, or even shrimp would be good. Thanks for posting this. -
Excellant chowder NurseDi, thanks for posting! I cut the recipe in half and made it for supper tonight. very tastey, the cheddar was a wonderful finish, nuummmyy!! We do a lot of soup through the winter and this will certainly be made again. I used the other half of the can or cream corn and a part of the other half of the cheese in some muffins, I served with the soup. Very tastey supper. -
Loved it! Perfect for fall. I used russets, a little more onion and celery, less cheese and lightly sauteed the veggies. Thanks for sharing this keeper comfort soup recipe. -
We've made this a couple of times now, and enjoyed it each time. A couple of variations I made: I used (extra) unpeeled potatoes, doubled the broth, and used 2 cups of cheddar, but left everything else as written. Delicious, warm, creamy, comforting. Definitely going on our fall/winter menu rotation!
