Ok, so I used my bacon yesterday for BLT's and didn't have any for this BUT I did have some bacon grease to saute the onions and garlic ( my addition)and potatoes in. I didn't brown the potatoes, 'cus time was a factor, and only added 3 cups of a flavorful , so many arn't, chicken broth. I couldn't get my eye on the oreagano and so used basil and had no cream so added what we drink - 1% milk. I added alittle more cheese than called for. We like it alittle thicker so I just mashed up some of the potatoes and stirred it up - GREAT! This is the best recipe to work from - thank you.

It was okay. Everyone ate it without complaining, but it lacked the flavor we like. In spite of all the other ingredients (potatoes, cheese, onions, etc.) it kept too much of the "canned" taste of the corn -- you know, that flavor canned corn has that fresh or frozen doesn't. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since it does have 2 cans worth in it. :-) I think it needed something to balance out that flavor. On the other hand, if you love canned corn, you will probably love this. It looked really scrumptious while cooking.

I picked this recipe because I didn't have evaporated or condensed milk on hand. This recipe is so fast & east & tasty! I only used 4 cups of broth because that's all I had on hand. But I found it to be a little watery & not quite as thick and creamy as I'd like but the taste was out of this world. I'm making it again this week but I might throw in a little flour to thicken it up a bit. Great cold weather meal!!!

We added smoked sausage to this recipe. It makes a LOT! It was really good and we have made this numerous times on a cold day.

Scrumptious! I would call it soup however, not chowder, it's not thick. But we'll be adding this to our list of regular soups!! YUMMY!!!!

Delicious! just a hint - I put the bacon & onion together first, added the potatoes, stock and seasonings. Once potatoes cooked, blend with hand-blender for thick and creamy soup - then add your corns. I don't know what Jack cheese is, so used Gouda and Tasty. Definately make again! Also, I strained it and gave it to my 15month old and she loved it too!

I guess I should have read the reviews first and I would have added less stock and another can of creamed corn. For me, this was too thin to be called a chowder. I got a tip from a co-worker though, that will be good on the leftovers...add instant mashed potatoes until the desired consistency is achieved. I think that will help. Overall good flavor though. Will probably make again with the noted changes.

I make a recipe very similar to this, but different enough to ask readers to consider: use a bit more bacon grease to cook the onions; aggresively season the potatoes, and fry them until they are lightly browned; leave out the oregano, add a pinch of nutmeg, use a good amount of white pepper or cayenne pepper to give it some snap, add 3/4 cup of sour cream out the end, and heat through. Leave out the cheeses! Diced carrots can be added with the onion, and frozen peas can be added with the corn, for variety. Hope you enjoy!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I had to use pre-packaged shreaded potatoes due to time. It turned out really good. I also used turkey bacon and added polish sausage to make it a meal. I loved the taste and texture. it was pretty thick and yummy. I also topped it with a dollop of sour cream and that was a perfect touch. Not very waiste line friendly but yummy.

This was a yummy cream soup. It's not quite thick enough to be a chowder but still delicious. I used Swanson Seasoned Chicken Broth since that was what I had on hand and it added a lot of flavor. I forgot to buy an onion so that was omitted. Next time I will try to remember to thicken it up a bit with some flour. Definitely a perfect supper for chilly winter weather.

This was very good- despite other suggestions, the only changes I made were to add double the amount of cream corn- and it was plenty thick enough. Very very good, but I will still add more corn next time- it was almost a potato chowder with some corn in it. All in all, we loved it!

I made a few changes and this recipe was wonderful! Based on previous reviews, I added about 5 cloves of garlic in with the onions, a little extra bacon, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika and only used 4 cups chicken stock. I also added 1/2 cup of 2% milk. It came out Delicous!

While my boyfriend raved about this soup, I'd have to say it was just o.k. I used larger cans of corn, as I couldn't find the size specified. I also used some flour/water paste before adding the cream to help thicken it up as someone else mentioned - It was quite brothy. The result was somewhat bland - maybe next time I'll try adding some thyme or a bay leaf to give it some flavor.

This was wonderful. The soup was more brothy then thick, but alittle flour will take care of that. But the flavor was super and sooo easy. Thanks for a wonderful dish.

This recipe was GREAT!! I did, however, add about 1 tbsp. flour to the onions before adding the potatoes; this gave it a thicker consistency. I also used the larger can of whole kernel can as I did not have the 10 oz. can. My husband, who is very picky, raved about it. Make a double batch, as it goes quickly!!!
