Outstanding basic recipe. It's easy and you can really doctor it up by adding ham, roasted chicken or crabmeat. Great recipes.

This is a great recipe! Thanks for posting it. I love how easy it is, and it turns out great every time. I usually add more creamed corn than listed, and also put in some frozen kernel corn. Great flavor!

Loved it!!! I made this tonight and it was fantastic! I have never made soup before and it turned out great! Even my 3 year old liked it. I made a few changes: I added a clove of garlic with the onions and a little flour for thickness, I used chicken stock instead of water and used 1 can of whole corn and 2 cans of creamed corn. I also added shredded chicken and wild rice. It also could use a little more salt to cut the sweetness of the corn. Next time, I will use 2 cans of whole corn and 1 can of creamed corn. This was a great, easy recipe, thanks!!!***Update I have been making this for a couple months and have found that it is better to cook the bacon in a separate pan and then add it to the potatoes and onions. Otherwise, the browning of the bacon leaves a funny after-taste if the soup is cooked in the same pot.

Just perfect!!! I used chicken stock too instead of water. Next time I would make sure the bacon is VERY crunchy when adding into the pot. Just came off the stove and so tasty. Usually soups, stews are better the next day but this is great!

This was a good soup, but to me it lacked something. I followed the recipe but like another reviewer I substituted chicken broth for water. My kids don't like lots of "potatoe lumps" so before adding the corn and half/half I used beaters to smooth out the potatoes. I will make this again because my kids and husband really liked this chowder.

Very Good! I did not use any water, subsituted 2 cans cream corn and 1 package frozen corn. It really came together when I added chopped fire roasted red peppers. AWESOME!

My family raved about this recipe, praising it as the very best chowder they ever had!!!

This was EXCELLENT soup! I made this on a very cold & snowy day...it warmed me inside & out! I also used chicken broth in place of the water & 1 can of regular corn with 2 cans of creamed corn. I used regular idaho potatoes & smashed them in the soup when they were tender. This recipe is a keeper!

MMM, yummy! This soup is so tasty and filling. We used chopped Canadian bacon in place of the regular bacon, and I think it made it better--gave it a almost sweet taste. Also, we used milk with a bit of flour rather than half-and-half (we didn't have any on hand), and it turned out just fine. This recipe is a "keeper"! :0)

This chowder was absolutely wonderful. It freezes well also.

We loved this recipe! One thing I particularly liked is that you can cook it all pretty much in one pot - saves washing all those dishes!

Excellent recipe..as written, no variations. My husband loved this dish and leftovers reheated well.

Good! I used a combo of creamed corn and frozen corn cut off the cob, evaporated milk instead of half and half and added some chipotle tabasco for a kick. I'll make this again.

MMMMM very good soup! I made it with milk instead of half & half. I also thickened it with cornstarch because I was too lazy to get my flour from on top of the cupboards. It was so yummy & even the kids gobbled it up

Pretty good!

Yum,Yum!! I like alot of bacon, so I added more. I also used alittle bit of corn starch, to thicken some, before I add the half and half. Thanks!!

This one is a keeper! I followed the original recipe except added chicken broth instead of water. Super easy to make and absolutely delicious. Tasted even better for left-overs, the bacon flavor was even more developed. Will definitely make again.

Excellent Recipe!
