Pretty good! I didn't have a scale to weigh 3 pounds of potatoes. I only had a 5 pound bag of red potatoes so I just used a little less than the whole bag. Plus, I read some comments about the broth being watery, which I did not want. So I figured if I diced some of the potatoes smaller and then boil/simmer them a little longer, they would break away and thicken the broth...which they did! I didn't bother peeling them either. I put a little chicken broth in with the water which was probably of waste. I used cheese whiz which is all I had. Either that, or sliced American cheese. So I went with the whiz. And I added the extra can of corn like some suggested. I also used a whole pack of bacon because there's never too much bacon. I didn't add very much salt, but a Lot of black pepper and a little garlic powder. And I let it all simmer for about 35 minutes or so to really give the broth a chance to thicken. It's not terribly thick, but far from watery. It's perfect. It seems to get better with every spoonful! I can tell this is going to be a GREAT left over. Excellent recipe! Next time I'm going to try it with some of the better cheeses that others have suggested and get a better handle on how much potatoes I use.

Made this tonight for dinner. It was great! I discovered I was out of evaporated milk so I subbed 2%. Also, I added the kernels of 2 fresh ears of corn - I just happened to have them. Delicious!

Yummy! I would suggest using precooked bacon to stop your whole chowder from becoming greasy.

Very good soup. Like some other people, I used chicken broth instead of water. I don't really measure anything and I used a combination of mostly cheddar cheese and some Munster. Seems like a very forgiving recipe. All I had on hand was a frozen bag of mixed veggies containing corn, carrots and asparagus. It came out very good and my children LOVED it!

This is wonderful as is, but I've found this recipe makes an excellent base to ANY type of chowder. Toss in some clams, oysters, shrimp, other veggies... anything you like and you're guaranteed to have a tasty dinner. Really good paired with some cornbread or a thick slice of garlic toast.

This soup is growing on me... I didn't love it when I first made it, but I froze a bunch and I'm finding that I like it quite a bit. I followed other suggestions and added a can of corn. Also, some people said it was too watery. The recipe doesn't really say, but I think maybe you are supposed to drain the potatoes after you boil them, rather than keeping the water in the pot. I took out about half the water and it was fine, but maybe slightly too watery. Next time I would take out more of the water.

This is the first time I ever made corn chowder, and this was simple and very tasty. I tripled the recipe because a single or even double wouldn't have given us leftovers. Very tasty, I didn't change anything. I added chicken to it to make it like a chicken corn chowder I buy, and this was better than that. Definitely will make this again, it's a keeper!

Hi! I am Rebecca. I like this recipe. When I was making this, I had a bad feeling that I might make it wrong, or it wouldn't taste good. But at the end, I tasted it, and it was so good! But I cut the bacon too big, and my mom said the onions were too big. My brothers liked it. For a side dish, we had corn bread. My family liked it. But I loved it!

This was nice and easy and tasty. One thing, though - I used real cheddar cheese, grated into the chowder until it was thick enough for my liking.

Good enough for me! I threw in some leftover kielbasa and used shredded (probably doubled the amount, I like my cheese) cheddar cheese instead of what's listed in recipe.

This wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it turned out ok. The flavors were good but a little on the bland side and I didn't like the thin consistency. I ended up adding cornstarch to try to thicken it but it was still pretty runny. The family ate it nontheless. Will try a different version next time.

Very quick and easy soup. Delicious! The only change I would make is to add the bacon drippings for more flavor. I took advice from others and added 1 can whole kernal corn and used low sodium beef broth in place of the water. Will definitely make this again!!

EXCELLENT! Made it for my husband and I and we absolutely loved it. I will definitely be making this again! Made it exactly as the recipe said and it was perfect. Next time though I think I will try the Campbell's cheese soup instead of cheese cubes.

This soup is great. It was quick, easy, relatively inexpensive, and I usually have the ingredients on hand other than the cheese. Everyone in my family enjoyed this. Thank you for the recipe.

This is THE best corn chowder we have ever had! Cooked the bacon very crispy (we don't like gobs of fat chucks floating around) and added an extra can of regular corn. Simply delicious!
