Extra Bacon Garlic Salt Sweet Baby Carrots

As is this is a 3 star in my book, just okay. I ended up adding a lot of spices and herbs, some cheeze, and an extra can of creamed corn and it was a lot more flavorful. But without these Im afraid its rather bland. With these additions, it is very yummy and will please the company and could be a 5 star.

This is real comfort food, my lads all loved it. Yes, I made it with half the broth, but found that I needed to add a bit more later on in the cooking. Apart from that the only change I made was to add parsley and Thyme, just because we like them. Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe

Awesome! I followed the recipe, but used additional flour to thicken. For some reason, it wouldn't thicken for me, but the flavor is unbeatable.

Wow, this was an amazing corn chowder! I did make a couple changes: I cooked the bacon in the soup pot until it was crispy, then removed the bacon and sauteed the onion and celery in the bacon fat. I crumbled the bacon and added it back at the end to keep it crunchy. I found I didn't need to dirty two pans for cooking the bacon and then simmering the soup. I omitted the butter and definitely didn't miss it! Also I drained the can of whole corn and I peeled the potatoes (it wasn't clear in the recipe if I should). All in all, the best corn chowder I have ever eaten!!

I have another corn chowder recipe; this one is as good as the old one. I used half and half instead of milk. 11/2007

Its always disappointing when a recipe gets high marks but the reviewers suggestions are what REALLY make the difference. This could have easily been a 5 star recipe had I read through half of the reviews. The two key issues I had with this recipe: Calling for milk. It should just be changed to half and half or cream - because the milk seperates - which is not at all appetizing. Having the bacon in from the beginning. The result is almost like an uncooked texture by the end. It should be cooked, kept aside and almost added as a granish upon serving. Leaving the bacon fat in at the beginning stage will impart the flavor and not sacrifice the bacon's texture instead. Granted - I should have instinctively not done both of these things - and will amend if I make this again.

I have made a version of this recipe for years using sausage instead of bacon and using cream instead of the rue. My whole family loves it. Also have made a quickie version using frozen O'Brian potatoes with peppers and onions, works great and tastes great.

I used this recipe as a base for my own Bacon, Potato, and Corn Chowder! I love that it includes celery and carrots.

We are very fond of clam chowder, so I drained 3-4 small cans of minced clams and added... wonderful!

This is by far the best potato/corn chowder I have ever tasted. I've made it before for company and there is always compliments. I always serve it with a basket of baking powder buicuts for the perfect rainy day meal

This was simple and easy to make, and tasted great. I cut the recipe in half and used one can of creamed corn and no whole kernel corn. I also left out the celery and just added a little celery salt.

Good, better with 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 2 cloves crushed garlic and instant potatoes to thicken instead of the flour rue. Add some of the bacon grease for flavor, or browned sausage with or instead of the bacon. Adjust salt accordingly.

This was a really good recipe. My son actually ate it and he's a picky eater. I think next time though I'll just use whole kernel corn instead of creamed corn. Thats a matter of taste though.

Souper! This was sooo good. I didn't do the bacon and topped it with sharp cheddar cheese. I will make this again and again!

really good corn chowder. since i never follow a recipe all the way, i did a few things different. i sauted the carrots with the other veggies in a little bacon grease and used leftover ham instead, and added a little yellow pepper i had left over. i cooked the potatoes in the broth with the other veggies before adding the creamed corn and other ingredients.(makes the potatoes a little more tender.) turned out wonderful. thanks
