Overall, I really liked this chowder. I did make a couple changes per other reviewers suggestions, and would make a change or so myself after making it. One, I added a cup of creamed corn to the other corn, and would do that again. Two, I added some arrowroot powder in addition to the flour to help thicken it up. Also, I used almond milk instead of soy and it came out just fine. In addition I just did salt/pepper and garlic powder to taste and no garlic clove. And oh yeah, I used veg. broth 2 1/2 cups...and I added about one large potato. Here are the changes I would make next time. I thought it tasted pretty strongly of carrots, so I would halve them or omit. I might also add a little soy creamer to add some more body. Other than that, its great. Definitely add potatoes though, they really make the dish hearty enough for a meal!

I made this the other night and thought it was good, but agreed with another reviewer that found the vinegar flavor a little strong. I added tofu and omitted the edamame and it was tasty and filling. I also used one package of udon noodles (8.8 oz.) and it was plenty of noodles for two people. Also, if you haven't used sesame oil before, be really careful - it gets hot very quickly and can spatter everywhere if you don't add the veggies fast enough.

I made this the way others suggested by chopping up the cauliflower etc. My bf is vegan so I used veg. broth to simmer it in and didn't use cheese on his half. Honestly, I think it was equally yummy on both halves, so don't be afraid to make this without it. The butter and breadcrumb mix gives it plenty of flavor.
