We loved this chowder! It's rich and creamy. Only blended half of the veggies and broth, for a more chunky soup. Used sweet corn cut off the cob and boiled it with the potatoes. Added 1 tbsp of cilantro to finished soup. Heavenly!

I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could! I made it exactly as the recipe called for, and it is WONDERFUL. I didn't believe a thick, creamy soup could be healthy until I made this. Easy, healthy, delicious - wow!

I foolishly added the entire tablespoon of red pepper flakes and the soup is WAY too spicy! I think without the spice it would be really good and very tasty. It was very easy to make, and I will do it again, but will greatly reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.

YUM. I just finished my first bowl. From the other reviews and my own experience, here is what I would change. 1) 1 TBS is way too much red pepper flakes. Use 1/4-1 tsp depending on how spicy you like your food. 2) Reserve at least 4 cups of veggy and broth mix to make sure the soup has texture, unless you like soup with no chunks. 3) Saute the onions and pepper in butter or olive oil first with the red pepper flakes while the potatos are boiling, then add them to the potatos as the recipe says. 4) Make sure you buy silken tofu. Firm tofu does not work well in soups. 5) This does need something else- thyme or rosemary, or another spice of your choosing sauteed with the onion would give it a fuller flavor. 6) I would add more corn- I didn't quite think the 2 cans were enough. 7) More veggie broth (at least 3 cups) Delicious, healthy soup!

It turned out great. I want to play with different seasonings and veggies but it was a simple and healthy meal. I made it for a dinner party for people who don't normally eat tofu and they loved it too!

This was delish and healthy. I pureed the entire batch and everyone in my family loved it. I skipped the tofu because it didn't need any thickening. But thanks for the tip, I can't eat flour so I now I know what to use.

I wasn't as impressed with this recipe, though I did love the trick of using tofu in place of cream! I used poblanos in place of green peppers, roasting them first. I also used fresh corn, and used water in place of the liquid that would have come from canned. This may have altered the taste. I just wasn't crazy about it. Also - if you like your soups more stew-like, don't puree as much - only puree about a cup or so to havea chunkier soup.

This is a simple, delicious, healthy and surprisingly vegan recipe that my entire family loved. I added about 1/2 a cup more of the vegetable broth and took another reviewer's advice and sauteed the vegetables with vegan butter and thyme and a about 3/4 tsp. pepper flakes. I also left more of the vegetables and potatoes out of the blender. I will definitely be making this again. YUMMY!

Use 1/2 the amount of red pepper flakes. Add some fresh ground pepper instead.

This is not only my first time cooking with silken tofu but also my first time making a blended soup (was always afraid of splattering it all over the place). I was amazed at how well it turned out. If I really, really pay attention I can kind of taste the slight chalkiness of the tofu but it really doesn't stand out. I had one bowl plain and one with a little sharp cheddar sprinkled top and if I really had to choose, I'd say it was slightly better with the cheddar, but really they were both very good.

made this for a lunch party and everyone raved about it. decreased pepper to 1tsp but thought even that was too much (for my toddler). THANK YOU for a great recipe. I love cream soups and can never make any given my daughter is allergic to dairy. This will be a regular.

This was the first time I had ever made a chowder and I'm so proud of it. It was so quick and easy. I took the advice of others and added a little extra seasons (rosemary/thyme) and less red pepper. I also reserved three cups from the blender. I've always been a huge corn chowder fan but hated the fat and calories. Now I can eat as much as I like! It's also great for my vegan friend! 5 BIG stars on this recipes!!!

Great low fat soup! I reserved a little more of the veggies before blending, per the other suggestions. I also added some red and yellow bell peppers for color and some thyme for flavor. If you don't like spicy, you can just add red pepper flakes as desired after cooking. Blended up nice and smooth and was great with some cheese on top.

Overall, a very good recipe. Like others, I could not find both "firm" and "silken" tofu, so I went with silken. It looked very creamy at first, but it got more grainy the longer it cooked. Maybe I kept it on the stove too long. I also decreased the amout of red pepper, but I added some cumin for a southwest kick. Next time I will try adding some crab meat. The chowder reminds us of a crab corn chowder we love at a local restaurant. Thanks for the recipe!

this recipe beats out the other corn chowder i used to make. the tofu gives it a nice thickness. i left out the red pepper; my boyfriend's not a fan of spicy food. i also left half of the soup unpureed and kept the skin on the potatoes. i was very happy with the results. perfect for a cold night. i'll be making it again.

I was so hungry for corn chowder, and looked through several "allrecipes" before choosing this one. I enjoyed the flavor of this soup, but the consistency wasn't thick enough for my liking, so I added instant potato flakes. Next time I make it, I will simply add less broth at the end. I also added more seasoning--try a bit of sage for a more savory flavor.

I've never cooked with tofu before (and am usually not the biggest fan), but the flavor and consistency of this is great! My roommate didn't know what was in it, and when she tried it, she thought it had 20 grams of fat in it. Then I told her what it was and she was shocked! Oh, and I made some slight changes - used chicken broth, and used both green and red peppers. Yum! Nice and spicy too.
