Love, love, love all of the veggies, I added a bit of broccoli that was needing to be used up. For me the one things that I would change is to add some more seasoning. Next time I'll use veggie or chicken broth along with extra seasoning herbs. Still, it was enjoyed with some more salt and pepper and a sprinkle of cheese. -
Good and easy chowder. I do agree with the other reviewers that it could use some more seasonings. I followed the recipe as written but next time I think I would use chicken broth instead of water and maybe double the spices. -
This was great. I changed it slightly. I used chicken broth instead of water and used fat-free evaporated milk instead of whole milk. And I also added about 2 cups of chopped chicken that I needed to use up. I sprinkled with cheese befor putting on the table. Great flavor and full of vegies. Thanks for posting. -
I made this for DD and it was perfect for her.Great way of using all the veggies in the fridge and freezer. For me it needs more flavor,maybe I'll add some thyme next time.

This is a fabulous recipe! But I learned that I'm not a fan of too many veggies in one place. Big hint: if you don't have fresh or frozen beans, do NOT use canned... the tinny taste is awful. The family enjoyed this as a nice comforting supper. Made for the 1/10 Veggie Swap. Thank you for posting!
