This is sooooo DELICIOUS! The only changes I made were to add diced potatoes (salted, peppered & microwave pre-cooked). Then I added a couple tablespoons of flour to the chicken & veggies in the bacon drippings just before adding the rest (to make it a little bit thicker). Everyone absolutely loved it and went back for seconds. Yummo!!

This soup was excellent! It was a great hit with everyone! and worked great for a weeknight meal! This one will most definitely go on the winter soup rotation!

This chowder is GREAT!!! I diced one stalk of celery and four small potatoes and sauted it along with the other vegtables and chicken. I also used half and half instead of milk. I also used a sharp cheddar cheese. Yum, yum I wish I had a crusty french bead to eat with it.

This "chowder" was more like "soup" to me. It left a lot to be desired. It was missing something, including color. For this amount of chowder, the recipe didn't include enough enough onions, garlic, and chicken or cheese, and I even doubled the onions and cheese. I ended up tripling the chicken, and putting about 5 cups of extra sharp Tillamook cheese in it, as well as adding all of the crumbled bacon to it, rather than reserve it for a topping. The way I changed it, it's a lot higher in fat, unfortunately, but at least it's not going to waste. I could use this as a base recipe but that's all.

With a house full of sick people and a really yucky early spring day outside, I decided we needed a little down-home comfort food. This fit the bill nicely! I added a lot more black pepper because we like our food that way and I used yellow bell peppers to hide them from the kids. I have no idea what everyone will think of this soup, but I like it! I think next time I'll throw in some hot sauce and see how that goes.

I'm rating this as AWESOME! The only thing I did differently was cook up an extra piece of bacon and then crumble two pieces in the chowder. The four of us had one piece to crumble on our bowl (sourdough bread bowls of course)! I used skim milk and it was plenty thick and creamy. I happened to have a bag of shredded triple cheddar which I think I will always put in this recipe. Great tip about the yellow pepper although my picky 12 year old still saw it. I think using white pepper would be helpful for those picky eaters too.

I added some potatoes (but it would have been great either way) & accidentally left out the garlic, so I added some garlic powder when I realized this mistake. Awesome soup. Will definitely make again.
