Four stars because I made a few changes. I used chicken broth instead of water (4 cups), two more potatoes and 4 cups of fresh corn (because I had so much extra corn on the cob that I had to use). I also spiced it up a little with 1 t. chili powder, 1/2 t. cayenne pepper, 1 t. garlic powder and a bay leaf. Used two cups of 1/2 and 1/2 in place of milk. Topped with the crumbled bacon and a dab of sour cream. Delish! Next time I might try to thicken it a little, but I suppose if you use the cream corn and less liquid it would be thicker.

Loved it! I doubled the recipe and made a clonking great big batch of it! It was easy to make and delicious. I found that leftovers were even better. I made only two changes: I left out the salt, and I stirred the bacon right into the chowder before serving. I'll make it again for sure! Thanks for the recipe, Ellen G!

This is a good soup recipe... However, I did use chicken broth in place of water and it required more than the 1/2 cup stated. I probably used about 1 and a half cups. It needed a little bit of salt and LOTS of pepper. Overall, it was quick and easy and quite tasty.

Easy recipe! I followed some of the advice and added some cajun seasoning. It's a keeper.

With others' suggested changes, this was great. Used 1 c milk, 1 c heavy cream. Simmered for 15 minutes all together to thicken. Used chicken bouillon in water to boil potatoes. Tastes great re-heated, too.

Delicious! I like to save some of the bacon to sprinkle on top when serving.

I have made this chowder several times. I used 1 cup milk and 1 cup 1/2 and1/2. I also added about 2 tbsp of chicken bullion paste. I quadrupled the recipe for a Labor Day Party, everyone loved it. Thanks for a great recipe.

I love this recipe. I made it for my in-laws and I am back printing the recipe for them. I must say, I did doctor it up a bit with more pepper and a few more potatoes.

I was very disappointed with this recipe. It was quite bland and not very creamy. I had to add some cajun seasoning to it to give it some flavor. Even then it wasn't all that great. Not horrible but not that great. I will not be making this again.

I wanted to like this due to the positive reviews, but was disappointed. Two cans of creamed corn makes this too sweet - my husband asked if I had added sugar. Aside from the sweetness - it was just too plain. Next time I'll try the "Corn Chowder - Fast and Great" on this site that uses a chicken broth base.

Very Good! I used the review of another and omitted the water and put sour cream in it's place. I also added chicken when I sautee'd the onions. Very Hearty!

Pretty good except decrease the amount of liquid....it was too liquidy. Also, next time I will add some chunks of ham instead of the bacon.
