I've been making this basic chowder recipe for several years. The chowder always gets rave reviews and recipe requests every time I make it for work, family and friends. I double & even triple the recipe but it's never enough. I use low sodium chicken broth in place of the water; 4-6 cups cubed potato; 1 roll of hot sausage and 1 lg can of evaporated milk instead of cream per recipe. Feel free to add more marjoram (I've even added sage and thyme for a change). It does make a fairly thin chowder but you can thicken it up with a couple tablespoons of instant potato flakes if you prefer. I serve it with chopped green onions and cheddar cheese on top. Gets even better reheated the next day. Yummy!!

My husband and I really enjoyed this chowder. As others recommended, I substituted chicken broth for water. I did not have any marjoram so I used oregano. The only sausage I had was a sweet italian sausage. Overall a great recipe. We topped our soup with cheddar cheese and enjoyed. It was very filling and the leftovers were even better.

The measure of a great recipe is its ability to adapt to various tastes and still taste terrific. This soup certainly fits the bill. My husband is a meat eater, so I sliced a pound of smoked sausage and added it to the chowder. In addition, I skipped the instant potatoes and added cubed 3 red skinned potatoes instead. I let the stew simmer until the vegetables were well cooked and added the milk and half&half at the end. Fabulous!!!!

I took some of the advice already posted and added chicken broth instead of water. I also had left over pork loin and used this as a substitute to the Sausage. My husband loved it!

This was pretty good but not fabulous. I think it would have been boring without the sausage and that the flavor from the sausage is what kind of "made it."

We loved it! I used a bag of frozen corn in place of the regular canned corn. We will make this again for sure.

So good! I loved this and will definitely make again. I used two cans of creamed corn and omitted the can of whole kernel corn. Also added two chicken bouillon cubes to the water.

Wow, was this some good food. My husband has been asking me every couple days, "so, when are you going to make that soup again?" Only changes I made were to sub. turkey broth for the water and use spicy sausage, add half a chopped red bell pepper, a carrot or two, some oregano and parsley, and used frozen whole kernel corn. Let all cook for a bit without the milk to comine the flavors. Then pureed about half of the soup in the food processor before putting it back on the stovetop to add and heat up the milk. We couldn't stop at one bowl! Hearty, creamy, filling. Great comfort food!

This is an excellent recipe for a quick meal. To add more corn flavor, I suggest roasting your own corn on the grill and using that instead of canned corn. And don't forget plenty of salt to perk up the flavor. My toddlers absolutely love this soup.

This was easy to make, but I thought it had a distinct canned corn taste. It seemed quite sweet...I would consider trying it with frozen corn.

This was tasted bland to me . The only way I saved it is was by taking everyone's suggestion and adding cheese and more spices. Maybe it was the milk base... I don't know ... its just did not appeal to me.

I guess my family aren't chowder fans. My son made his bowl before I added the milk and he liked it alot. My husband said he wasn't fond of the milk based soup.

A great chowder. I started with a roux base (because we like it really thick and hearty) and I added more corn and spices. A quick easy soup that has no problem taking center stage as the main course!
