This soup got great reviews from everyone that was fortunate enough to get a spoonful! I used all chicken stock to cook the potatoes, it really did make amazing flavor. I also used much more potatoes and veggies, as I was really trying to maximize the recipe. Instead of 2 cans of corn, I took a previous reviewers advise and used one can of creamed corn and one regular (Del Monte Summer Crisp). I also used 1C 2% milk and 1C half and half in order to add to the creaminess of the chowder. I think the most important step was that I removed about 1/3 of the potatoes after they were cooked, as well as a handful of other veggies, blended them with an immersion blender, and added them back into the soup. It made a super amazing texture. I will be making this again, and am already taking requests from my family and coworkers for another batch!

Delicious and very easy. I, too, used homemade veggie stock--and used the veggie scraps to make more soup stock later.

Really good soup! I did use veg broth instead of water. Very tasty as is and also good with a bit of thyme, sage, and old bay seasoning. I will definitely make this again!

this is definitely my favorite creamy soup i have made. the only reason i gave 4 stars and not 5 is that without a couple additions i think it would be a little bland. i added chopped garlic to the simmering veggies as well as some crushed bay leaves. you could also use chicken broth instead of water and that would kick up the flavor too. this is a really excellent chowder and while its not completely healthy with all the cheese its a great way to get my son to eat carrots and celery (i added more than suggested) sooo good on a cold day, thanks!

This was sooo good! Only thing I would recommend is seasoning up the butter/milk/flour mixture. I added salt, pepper, and garlic powder...yummy!

This soup is great! I added some cubed ham pieces and garlic powder. Made this for a fall camping trip and everyone thought it was awesome.

My son loves corn and this was a good recipe to use my leftover corn on the cobs from last weekend's bbq party. Can't wait for tomorrow and have some leftovers.

This is great! I didn't exactly follow it, so I don't know if it would be too bland. Since I didn't give it a chance as is, I didn't want to take away a star. I would suggest starting the milk mixture about 10 minutes into the simmer and adding a bay leaf to the veggie pot. I ended up standing at the stove for ten minutes stirring because I didn't want globs in the soup. I also used chicken broth. Put the veggies in first (added a few cloves of garlic)and added chicken broth to cover. I cooked them for about 5 minutes or so--just until tender crisp. Then I added 6 medium potatoes and proceeded as written. Oh, and I forgot the cheddar cheese but it was great even without it! Thanks for sharing! (I plan on adding cooked chicken to it tomorrow. Yum!

This a great basic recipe but I added a lot of different items because it was a little bland. I added Fresh sage, thyme, oregano and garlic powder and fresh jalepeno. I don't particularly like cooked carrots so I left them out.

This was sooo easy(gotta like that!). I didn't have celery and didn't add salt, but did add a little chipolte spice and fresh instead of canned corn. I would make again 4 sure.

Made this for the first time tonight. What I love about it is that the ingredients don't have to be exact - for example, one potato yielded more than 2 cups chopped so I just threw it all in anyway. I also added two baked chicken breasts (unseasoned.) I'm not sure I got all the cheese because I grated it right in the pot and didn't bother measuring. After we had some, we decided it was still missing something. So I tossed in a capful of bacon bits and will probably add a little more cheese when I reheat it for lunch tomorrow. All in all, a great recipe considering it can be altered based on what you have available!

The whole family loves this! I don't peel the potatoes and I use a lot more than 2, but then again, I never measure anything. I thought I'd have leftovers the first time I made it, but they finished it all! Now I at least double the recipe.

No flavor. I fixed it up with chicken granules, bay leaf, celery salt, worstershire. Better. More of a soup than a chowder (watery). But a good basic start.

This was very good and hardy. It was a little bland but I think it would have been more bland if I had not made some changes. I cooked my veggies in 30 oz of chicken broth + about 1 cup of water and a chicken boullion cube. I added about 1/4-1/2 tsp of garlic powder and I added black pepper. Instead of cooking the butter, milk and flour separately, I added the butter to the veggies and in a separate bowl, I whisked the milk and flour and then added that to the pot. It came out really good and I'll make it again.

This was a little bland, so we added some habanero pepper sauce to induvidual servings and that brightened up the flavor. I still prefer a corn and potato chowder without cheese, though.

I give this recipe 3 stars because I change a lot, but it is a good basic recipe. I sauteed my potatos and onions first with oregano, pepper, garlic and fresh garlic. I cooked the chowder in my slow cooker. I added water with a chicken bullion cube. Addedd the potatos, then cooked some frozen vege mix with some maragine and salt on the stove and added to the soup. I let it cook a few hours and then cooked fresh mushrooms on the stove and then added. did the flour, margarine and milk mix the same and just added some pepper. came out really good! i'll be making it again.
