I love this recipie. This was recpie was great. I used frozen veggies and it turned out great. I used frozen corn, brocoli, fresh carrots, fresh red peppers, etc. I love the flexibility to add whatever vegatables that you like/have available. I like to sprinkle a little bit of chedder on top when served. The next time I make, I will have this as a side dish to the Bacon Pepper Jack Chicken sandwich (on this site).

A thick, rich, and delicious soup. You won't miss the meat! Of course, a few tweaks: I used a 16oz bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower along with the other fresh veggies. I added 32 oz chicken broth, and less flour, about 1/3 cup. This yeilded an incredibly thick chowder. Perfect on a cold winters day. Thank you for your submission, well done indeed!

Good recipe! I was working with what I had in my fridge, and so omitted the pepper and cauliflower, but added some shredded cabbage and frozen corn. I also reduced the cheese by half. Very yummy!

This was my first time at making chowder and followed recipe and it was a success.Family really enjoyed this chowder.Will be making this chowder again. Thank You!

super good and delicious.

I just served this to a crowd the other night, and what a huge hit it was! There were several requests for the recipe. It was super easy, and I only made a couple of small changes--used cream instead of milk (although it was so rich, I probably could have stuck with milk)and reduced the cheese to two cups (it was still incredibly cheesy). Oh, yes, and I also added mushrooms. I know I'll use this recipe many times.

I loved this recipe! So does my husband. I didn't change anything, and thought it came out perfect. I will for sure be making this again!

Fantastic recipe! I used only a small pat of butter and a little olive oil to saute the onions/peppers, added mushrooms and corn, and reduced the cheese to about 1/2 cup sharp cheddar, with a little sprinkled on top of each bowl. I also blended the soup just a little bit with my handheld mixer to give it a smoother consistency (but still let some veggie chunks remain). I thought the recipe was absolutely delicious. I am definitely adding it to my meal rotation. Thank you!!

Delicious! I followed the recipe pretty closely. But I used a yellow bell pepper instead of red, and since I didn't have any celery, I just added extra broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to compensate. I actually used a pre-packaged bag of broccoli & cauliflower florets from Trader Joe's, so it was really easy. Based on other reviews, I didn't even chop them smaller and they cooked down great (I did poke them a bit with a spoon towards the end to "help" them integrate more with the soup). I forgot to add parsley, and I just eyeballed the cheese (shredded a big pile of it and threw it in at the end). It tasted pretty good without the cheese too, so I like that flexibility of the recipe. My husband and I both loved it. The kids (they are 4 1/2 and 2) only ate a few bites, so that's why I only gave it 4 stars and not 5. My son actually said he liked it, so there's still hope (maybe he just wasn't very hungry tonight!).

Using up broccoli and cauliflower from holidays. Omitted celery, red pepper. Doubled broc., caulif., and onion. Decreased carrots to handfull for color, and substituted cheese with velveeta to be able to reheat at work. Tastes wonderful - even with all the changes. Only suggestion: decrease simmer time from 20 to 10 min or so so veggies don't turn to mush when reheating. 3/18/2007: Made again using up veggie tray from last night. Used pre-shreaded cheddar. AWFUL! The powder it was packaged with to keep shreads from sticking together kept the soup from being creamy. Gritty tasting. Should have used my own advice and gone with the velveeta!

Great soup! I cut the broccoli and cauliflower fairly coarse because I like chunky soup, and they still cooked down to almost nothing... next time I will chop even coarser. Soup tasted great and was the right consistency without using a blender!

This is my all-time favourite vegetable soup -- I usually don't change a thing, except once in a while I throw in some potatoes and I usually add a bit of roasted red pepper seasoning -- yummy! Thanks for this great recipe!

Great base for a creamy soup. I used onions, garlic, carrots, celery and broccoli. Left out the cheese entirely. Turned out delicious and I would definitely make it again.

This was great! I'll add less flour though, next time.

...I started out making House Fried Rice and discovered I was out of rice!? (heat must be getting to me)..so..with my veggies semi-stir fried I decided to make soup. Threw my veggies (onion, broc, carrots and celery) in a stock pot added some frozen corn and roasted red pepper and garlic and proceeded with this recipe. I didn't have to boil the veggies just brought the chicken broth to a simmer, added the milk and flour..stirred..added the parsley, lots of ground black pepper and sharp cheddar. Good soup! Served with Tomato Bruschetta. Thanks R.A...you saved the day.

This was a nice, simple chowder. Not bursting with flavor, but a quick meal when you want to make something quick and healthy. I did take the suggestion of others and add corn. I can't imagine the soup without it! I also used less broth and milk than required to make the soup thicker.
