This was pretty awesome. I pretty much followed the recipe exactly, using skim milk and maybe a little extra pepper. Turned out great! My honey claims to hate oregano and he loved this. Yes, it is pretty simple, but that's what comfort food should be. It was great, but not 5-stars - it could definitely use something extra to give it that boost, but I haven't figured out what that "extra" should be yet. Great recipe, though - thanks!

I really wanted this to be as good as I was imagining. However, It WAS very bland and needed quite a bit of jazzing up -- and we have very mild taste.

My husband loved it, my boys and I thought it was pretty good. I will make it again definately, but will use skim milk rather than cream now.

I Love this! Wonderful! I would think wild rice works better. But I still like it with white rice

Very good. I omitted the carrots because I do not like them and used celery instead. I also used wild rice instead of white and brown rice flour instead of white. I had to add about 2 more cups of water but it was very good. Will make again.

Very good! I had to add about an extra cup of liquid, and I still thought it was pretty thick. Good, but I was just expecting something a little more soup-like. I don't know why, the title clearly says "chowder"! Anyway, it was delicious and I'll certainly make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent chowder!!! I made this a few days ago after a big snowstorm. Perfect comfort food for the winter. I served it with garlic bread and a mixed green salad with herb vinegrette. My friends are already asking for the recipe. haha!!! Definately a keeper.

LOVED this chowder, but made a few minor changes. I used 3 1/2 cups chicken stock, no water. Added a bit of celery with the carrots, just because I happened to have it around. When it was done it seemed a bit thick to me, so I added some more stock and milk. Maybe 1/4 cup each. Delicious, and a definite keeper!

Yum! This was very good...my husband loved it. (I made it with rice milk, as my daughter is allergic to dairy.) It's a very thick, hearty and comforting chowder for a yucky cold winter day! Thank you!

This soup was fabulous! I made it using leftovers from the night before: 'Honey Curried Roasted Chicken & Vegetables' (also from allrecipes) and the flavour from the chicken and veggies just made this even better. I'm going to do this with my leftover chicken every time now. Thanks so much for sharing!

I've made this recipe twice, and my husband and I enjoyed it. I added potatoes, and I think that added a little more variety.

This a very good. I just added a little more garlic and some salt and my family loved it.

This was a great recipe - quick, easy and delicious. I realized at the last minute that my fresh mushrooms had been in the frig way too long so I used fresh broccoli instead. I will certainly make this one again and again.

This was not at all what I expected but I will make it again.

Excellent recipe. Didn't change a thing, just doubled it. Great flavors, very nice comfort food. Thanks for this one!

definitely a keeper

I made this recipe tonight! I pretty much alway change things based on what I have on hand. I skipped the carrots (didn't have any) and added more mushrooms, but chopped vs. sliced. I added 1 c. beef broth because I already had one open. Seemed like most found the original bland, so I added about 3 chicken and 1 beef bouillon cubs. It really made the broth more flavorful. I also didn't have any rice, so I added egg noodles instead. We really love mushrooms, so thanks for sharing!

I made this as is yesterday for the first time. I loved it. It was nice, thick, and hearty. My wife wants me to add green vegetables the next time I make it, but she took the leftovers to work today so she must have loved it too. To anyone I suggest following the recipe for your first batch, then tweek it if you want, but the original recipe is great.

Didn't add the water as per previous reviewers and kept everything else the same, VERY good!

Followed the recipe exactly. We loved it.
