I tried this recipe, and was not impressed. This was ordinary at best. The result did was not worth all the preperation effort. A simpler recipe with more flavor is much better.

This is a good chowder. I didn't love it, I could take or leave mushrooms though. But the mushroom lovers did love it! I made it to go with the italian bread bowl recipe from this site. And although I wouldn't recommend it with the bread bowls, it is really good all by itself.

oh... these are wonderful, beautiful, delicious bread bowls. I added sugar, italian seasoning and garlic salt to the dough. The bowls baked up so beautiful, I didn't want to serve them for dinner, I wanted to put them on display. Yes, a bit nerdy I know but, I wasn't expecting them to turn out so perfect. I do have to tell you though, I made the mushroom & potato chowder from this site (very good) to go with the bowls. But for some reason they didn't compliment each other very well. And though there were mixed reviews, some seemed to love it. I would not recommend it together. I would love to try the Zuppa Toscana or the Taco Soup with the bowls though. I can't wait to make them again!
