     If you want a creamier soup without adding calories, put a portion in the blender. I always do that when making corn or potato soup to get a rich texture without cream. - 9/29/09

     My family and I really enjoyed this recipe. I substituted low fat chicken broth for the water and added a very small amount of lean back bacon to make it a bit more hardy. We all really enjoyed it!! - 8/11/09

     Try adding a little corn meal to thicken. Mix corn meal with a little water before adding to chowder. - 10/15/08

     I would definitely do the chicken broth instead of water because although it was good, it lacked a bit of the salty flavor. - 11/23/07

     I LOVED THIS! I fixed the blandness by using 1/2 - 3/4 tsp. of salt. That's all it needed. Phenomenal!

     I fried up some chopped bacon then added vegies and sauted them before adding liquid, few chilli flakes and cumin. I also use frozen corn and cream of corn instead of flour to thicken soup. - 4/18/09

     Yummy! I added way more vegis than the recipe called for (I heart onions and celery) and it turned out delicious. It didn't thicken up for me, even after I boiled the bageesus out of it, but its tastey :) - 2/25/09

     I used chicken stock instead of water, added carrots, and used skim milk. I think you could get away with using dried parsley as well. It was a hit with my vegetarian son! - 10/18/07

     I read the reviews and did some of the additions, evap.skim milk, chichen broth, a little chipolti powde and lump crab. It was great and filling. I look forward to the leftovers for lunch tommorrow.

     Great! Definitely slightly thin, so I may thicken it more...and adding a bit of meat (ham, turkey bacon) would give it a kick. Tasty! - 10/18/08
  • DAZED4MESSIAH
     This was excellent. I didn't add the pepper instead I used more celery and potato. My whole family really enjoyed it. A bonus - it's not only delicious but quick! Thanks for sharing. - 11/2/07
  • KATSAMCAMSMOM
     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
  • KBCIRCUS
     This is a wonderful recipe and very easy. I modified it by increasing the ingredients so it can feed my family. I also added garlic and green onions and shrimp to make it a Shrimp and Corn Chowder. I also used low sodium/low fat chicken broth instead of water. Delicious!!! - 10/15/07
  • RAELOOS
     Nice. My husband liked it. Did need extra spices and if you add a little extra vegetables and less milk this recipe will come out thick enough. Peace - 1/2/09
  • SHUTRBUG1
     I used fresh corn cut off the cob, extra celery and onions and I thickened it with a little instant mashed potato instead of flour. It was great! - 9/29/09
  • CHATERJOY
     I really loved this recipe just as it is. It is definitely a keeper. - 11/16/08

     Next time I make this I'm going to use chicken broth instead of water.Very quick and easy.Tastes good too. - 9/29/09
  • BIENVENIDO
     Very good! I added a bit of garlic powder. Thanks for sharing! - 10/5/08
  • KIKAII
     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
  • AMHFALKO
     I made this following the recipe exactly. Very very good! It was a little thin, so I thickened it with a little cornstarch and water and let it boil longer as I stirred.
    Very good! - 10/13/09
  • JDLANDER
     My family loved this! My daughter had seconds and my son didn't even complain (he almost always doesn't like good food.) I ended up having to add just a tid bit more flour to get it to thicken. - 11/1/08
  • DAFLORES1
     i love it and i can put othe items in it like diced ham etc. cumin makes a wonderful addition - 10/15/08
  • HEATHER121
     I really like the taste of this soup and have made it a couple times. The only problem that I have with it is that it is quite thin. You may want to add less milk/water to make it thicker. - 3/7/07
  • JOSIECL
     I made this several weeks ago, and again last week. My family really enjoed it. I added three cubed chicken breasts to the recipe to make it more hearty. It is a recipe that my family requests often! - 10/11/09
  • TAT2EDCARE_BEAR
     We didn't care for this and I ended up throwing it out. It would be better with out the green pepper. - 8/12/08
