This was very flavorful. DH & I think it's the best! Will definitely cook it again. Seems like small cups of this would be a great appetizer.

I followed the recipe exactly except that I reduced the flour and cooked the potatoes longer based on the suggestions of other users. It was AWESOME! I can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow!

with 3 T flour and 2 cups milk, this turned out really delicious! I used 8oz backfin crabmeat and would probably spend the money on the lump crabmeat next time, as I ended up with a ton of filaments. Excellent recipe, super easy!

This recipe was delicious with a number of changes. I used Better Than Bouillion instead of the bouillion, and frozen corn instead of creamed can corn. I also added double the milk to make up for not using creamed corn. I steamed the potatoes in a micro steaming bag for 3 mins. The result was very tasty!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I was looking for a recipe to use up leftovers and make some modifications to fit what I had. I used cooked shrimp instead of crab, 1 cup of water instead of wine, 2 potatoes, added garlic salt, and used leftover fried corn instead of individual bacon slices and creamed corn. I used two tablespoons of flour. We enjoyed it very much.

I want to love this recipe. I really do. I had a crab/corn chowder from the grocery store and thought "I can make this." I do agree that the flour is an issue. I ended up winging it. I kept adding tsp until it looked right, so I doubt I added 1/3 cup. And I still ended up adding twice the milk! Also, I wanna know what kind of microwave they have that 30 sec in the microwave is enough to do anything to potatoes. My potatoes could have been softer, but all in all it did end up good. I'm gonna have to work on the recipe next time I make it.

Delicious.....but I did make some adjustments. I wanted a big pot of soup....I cooked turkey bacon in evoo, removed and set aside. In the same pot I sauteed onion, celery, diced red pepper, and cubed baby reds (about 4),salt and pepper for about 5-7 minutes. I added some flour and added 4 c. fat free chix broth and let that simmer until taters were tender. I added about 1c. frozen white corn, and 2c. fat free half and half, old bay seasoning and 4 cans of crab meat. Let that simmer and I did use a little cornstarch and water to thicken a little more. I like a thick chowder. Very tasty, great on a cold night.

you def have to add extra milk and not as much flour or it gets really thick. i added about 25 cooked shrimp right at the end. also alot of old bay gave it a really good spicy flavor. really good soup!!!

First of all, I used all the flour & thought it was fine that way. I guess I expect a chowder to be thick and not like a soup. I've made it twice and did it the same both times. Good flavor. But I have issues with the recipe itself. Potatoes do NOT get done in 30 seconds in a microwave. And they need stirred. Next time I'll just boil them in water as it seems easier. And I can use the same pan I make the chowder in. Speaking of which, this is also a waste of pans. I cooked the bacon in the same pan & just set it aside on a plate. (Easier to wash than another pan. And extra bacon grease can be wiped out easily enough before moving on.) So same pan all the way through and much easier to deal with. And bouillon cubes don't really dissolve in cold milk that easily. Easier to use the grandule kind and dump in w/everything else & it'll dissolve fine. I think the end results are well worth it, but it's *not* a last-minute supper as one person said. Too many steps involved. The taste got a 4 but I dumped it to a 3 due to the convoluted recipe.

This was a tasty chowder! Because my husband and I don't eat meat, I sauteed the onions in olive oil instead of the bacon fat. I also substitued about 1 tsp. of Vegebase for the chicken bouillon (fyi, I increased the recipe to make 8 servings). As for most of the other reviewers, the chowder was WAY too thick even though I reduced the flour to 1/2 C. To thin out the chowder, I added about 1 C. of No-Chicken Broth. I will definitely make this again. I might even consider adding some more crab next time!

I used snow crab (i peel off the shells) to make the soup. Family thought it was okay. It was quick and easy. It was a nice one time deal. I wouldnt make this again.

Very good! I too changed the amount of flour to 3 tbsp, and I still had to thin it a bit. I added Old Bay, used fresh parsley (all I had), and when I make it next time, will saute in garlic along with the onions. Thanks for the recipe and for all of the great tips from other reviwers!
