YUMMY!!! My kids really liked this, I used the fat free half and half instead of milk. And I did not add the green pepper. Mine thickened up just fine. I did add extra salt and pepper and dried parsley for added flavor. Will definitely make this again!!! Thank you for a great low fat soup! - 10/23/07

Absolutely fantastic! It took very little time to make, with simple, wholesome ingredients. My family loved it (requested we serve it in a bread boule next time). I omitted the green pepper, added chopped garlic and totally forgot I had no paprika, used the fat free cream and it turned out perfect. - 10/25/07

Enjoyed this. Made a few changes - was short on time, so used those diced potatoes you find in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. When I added the water, I threw in about a Tbls of chicken bouillon granules, used 1 can evap skim milk (rest 1%) and added 4 slices of cooked turkey bacon. - 10/12/09

I make corn chowder much the same only leave the green pepper out. I cook the celery and potato together then add frozen corn and a can of creamed corn then add your 1% milk (I use carnation milk and the water that the potato & celery were cooked in. Seasoning as you like and a dab of butter Nana B - 10/23/07

I have used a similar recipe before but add chopped cooked chicken to provide more protein, chicken broth instead of water, canned cream corn (2 large cans) as well as 1 large can (or fresh) whole corn niblets. To spice it up a little, I also add curry and red pepper to taste. Good luck, everyone! - 9/29/09
