I am a huge fan of soups and this one was very good. I made a few changes to suit my tastes, which made it a 5 star chowder: added a bay leaf, a pressed clove of garlic (sauteed with the onion and celery in butter), and a cup of chicken broth (in addition to the milk). I also cut back on the cream cheese to 1/2 a package. Very yummy...I have even traded out the shrimp for a can of crab meat and it is delicious.

What a great chowder recipe! Added the bay leaf and some Old Bay. I sauteed the celery and onions in salted butter. This was more than enough seasoning for the chowder and it was unbelievable.

This was really delicious, and heated up great for leftovers too. The only issue I had was the cooking time after the potatoes were added. I ended up having to cook it WAAAAY longer than suggested in order to make the potatoes soft enough and the chowder thick enough. Though once it was all cooked through it really was good, I would recommend.

It was good but a little cloying for my taste. All the cream cheese made it really rich.

Fantastic! I was in a hurry to make something for dinner b4 I picked up my kids from play practice. This threw together in about 15 minutes. I added four drops of liquid smoke, minced garlic (about one tbls), old bay seasoning, onion powder, and chicken broth (to make it stretch a little). I sauteed the onion, garlic, celery, and celery leaves in evoo with one tbls of butter. everything else I threw in and whisked together. Should have doubled the recipe! Excellent.

Basic idea is good. Feel it serves 2 not 4. I added 1/4 tsp. of cayenne. Needs a little something to give it zing. May even add corn next time.

This was amazing!!!! I added an extra 2/3 cup milk, and I also cooked the potatoes in chicken broth before adding it. Then I used the whole pound of shrimp. I will be making this often.

My wife hates celery. She also hates clam chowder. Even so, she loved this soup--the celery gave it a slight crunch and the cream cheese really made for a rich base. We both loved it! Thank you!

I really liked this. I made it for Christmas Eve dinner and served it in a puff pastry shell. It was so quick and easy but yet fancy. :) I boiled my diced potatoes in salted water and added the shrimp for a minute when the potatoes were almost done. I also added a bay leaf and chopped fresh parsley to the soup because I had some on hand. I also served it with Tabasco for my spicy loving husband.

My family liked it, but not I.For me there was the cream cheese that got in the way.To much. Tasted funny. I will try one more time but only will use a 1/4 of it instead of the whole thing.

This was excellent! I did however tweak it a bit. I made my own shrimp stock with the legs, shells, and onion. Then I just did the recipe the way it was written. My family loved it.

This was absolutely delish although i changed around the recipe a bit. Mostly because half way through cooking i realized i didn't even have milk or celery. I used close to a pound of thawed salad shrimp, substituted a can of cream of celery soup (+ a can of water) for the milk. Only about a half cup of very small cubed potato's (i don't really care for them) Also, i added a little extra white wine, substituted creole seasoning for salt and added a little extra, and added some celery seed and cayenne pepper. Oh, and i sautee'd maybe 1/8th cup of home garden banana pepper since i didnt have any celery. Everything turned out great and tasted great but next time i'd like to actually have milk and celery, as the soup substitute made it just a tad thicker then it should be and it made more soup because i used water to thin it out. Either way i highly recommend this recipe, take some liberty with it, add what you like as long as your still sticking to it for the most part, and it will taste great! I'd like to use the same base for a crab soup some time.

Great shrimp chowder! I did double the recipe, for the 5 of us. I added some minced garlic, cayenne pepper and some Old Bay. I cooked the potatoes in chicken stock and used about a cup of liquid to thin the chowder a tad. Served in Italian Bread Bowls from this site. Will add to my recipe box!!

I made this with less cream cheese than the recipe calls for but it still turned out Great. Looked really good too... I love for food to look as good as it tastes. I think next time I'll try some cream of celery soup in it as another reviewer did.

I read all the reviews on this chowder and then combined the suggestions as follows (I doubled the recipe BTW): Precooked the potatoes in 2 cans of chicken broth and reserved the cooking liquid, Added 1 Tbsp. minced garlic and 2 Tbsp. of dried parsley flakes when I sauted the celery after omitting the onions (picky eaters), warmed up the cream cheese in micro in order to speed up the melting in the soup pot, added a few drops of Tabasco sauce and a bay leaf, added 2 cups slightly defrosted frozen whole kernel corn with shrimp and omitted the wine. After adding the shrimp, corn, salt and pepper; the chowder was a little too thick so I added 2 cups of the reserved chicken broth from the potatoes. Next time I'll add a half cup at a time until the desired thickness is reached; it ended just a little too thin for my tastes. Anyway, after alll these changes my family was happily surprised with this dish. Don't know if I'll make it again though:)
