A really good basic chowder, but just a shade under perfect--hence the 4 stars. I've made it twice now, and had to adjust twice. I'm not a fan of bouillon cubes as they taste rather manufactured. So I used chicken broth (packaged is fine) instead--2 cups. I also upped the garlic to about 4 minced cloves. I browned the chicken and then set it aside to add later so it wouldn't overcook. Substituted 4 scraped ears of fresh corn (cuisine arted the corn to a cream). Doubled the onion, 1 tsp. cumin plus some about a tsp. dried oregano. Used cream, added at the end. Put the grated jack into the soup at the last and used liberal chopped cilantro, fresh chopped oregano, and minced green onions to garnish. It was outstanding!. Even a friend, who is Mexican, gave it 5 stars. Served it with chips and salsa; and a cheese/jalepeno bread. The gang went wild!
