Quick, easy and tasty! I never thought chowder could be put together this quickly! I thought there was not enough broth, so I increased it a skosh. I didn't use the packaged potatoes and forgot the onions, which would have been a good addition. I used baby red potatoes. I also used much larger shrimp than called for in this recipe. I started with boiling broth which reduced the simmer time by about half. The white sauce only took about 5 minutes. I was so anxious to dive in, I forgot the bread with the first bowl and had to go back for 2nds. My bowls must be MUCH smaller as I will get about 50% more servings.
