Great chowder! I did make a few changes though--I upped the amount of onion to a heaping half cup, decreased the amount of parmesan to a half cup, and added a generous sprig of chopped fresh thyme.

This is one of our favorites! I had never made chowder before, but the Parmesan sounded interesting. I either reduce the amount of celery by half or leave it out all together. I also add cooked bacon pieces, since my husband is a bacon freak and it really adds to the flavor! I've made this a couple of times to take to new moms and have gotten lots of compliments.

Great, easy recipe. Followed recipe, though I did add kale with the veggies, which was great. Next time I may add some ham or bacon. You could also add shrimp or scallops, etc. for a different twist. Will definitely make again!

So yummy!

I loved it...and have made it for giving away to new mothers and sick folk. I have thickened it a bit more, but beyond that i followed exactly, and loved the flavor the parm. cheese gives it.

This was great! I added garlic and a can of Niblet corn and a few more carrots than it called for. I think it was better after it simmered for about an hour. Will definitely be making this again!

My family loves this recipe! I love that it's vegetarian. I followed the recipe for the most part with a few little tweaks. I didn't have shredded parm cheese so I used grated cheese instead. I also added about 1/4 tsp of ground cayenne pepper to give it some more flavor. I'll be making this soup again for some guests tomorrow!

Good and easy

WOW. This was so great! I wish I'd had more left over!! The cream corn was the right way to go. I doubled the recipe.

Add some spices for more flavor like cumin, chives and basil. Other wise it was perfect. You can use other cheeses besides Parmesan like cheddar or Mozzarella.

This was absolutely delish!!! Just made it tonight and the whole family loved it. As four the size of recipe I also doubled it, but it was fantastic. Thanks for the great dish!

This recipe is FANTASTIC. I did add a pinch of thyme/cumin like another reviewer, and I also let it simmer in my crockpot on low for about 3 hours (while I bake bread to go with it)! I toss in another can of corn niblets with the creamed corn so it's EXTRA corny. Absolutely delicious.

This is absolutely fantastic. One of the best recipes we've tried from this site. My husband loved it and already put in a request to make it again - soon. I did have to change some things based on what I had in the house. I used a cannister romano/parmesan blend (all I had) so I used less (3/4 cup) and omitted the salt since romano is so salty. I added a can of drained corn since I didn't have cream corn in the house, and also (as a result) used less of the roux (2 tbsp each butter and flour) since there was less liquid from the cream corn. I also tossed in a clove of minced garlic when I simmered the vegetables and added some dried thyme and parsley (about 1/2-1 tsp of each) to serve. I don't believe that the changes I made detract at all from the quality of the recipe - I only made them to accommodate what I had in my pantry. Hopefully my review help someone else to know what changes can be made without hurting the recipe - it's wonderful and I highly recommend it.

Tasty and easy!

I'm from Bozeman too, so it was great to find a recipe from my town. It's the perfect soup for a cold day and there's plenty of days like that here. I added a little hot sauce for a kick.
