Not creamy or spicy...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The title doesn't describe the soup very accurately. It tasted fine, but nothing special, weird texture and pretty bland.

Ok...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Like people have said below, I should have read the reviews before I made this. It was WAY too runny and hard to blend. Good... idea to put the broth with the veggies BEFORE putting in the blender. I used cornstarch and heavy cream to try and thicken it. It's just way too runny. Next time, I will use more veggies to make it thicker. I will probably roast all the veggies too for a richer, more flavorful soup. I will make this again, just differently with more ingredients.Read more

Good flavor, but not creamy enough
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I followed the directions for this recipe pretty closely, but with an addition at the end. After adding the broth and milk, I... thought that it was too thin/not creamy enough, so I made a quick roux of butter and flour and added that to the chowder, which made it thicker. Everything else about this was good; it had nice flavor and was good to eat. I had lots of leftovers, so I froze those for another day. Read more

Watch the video first for tips.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

There is a video for this recipe and things are done slightly different when it comes to the pureeing (Angie has already put... the chicken stock in before doing this). Won't make a big difference in the taste, just easier to puree than pure veggies, and probably a bit smoother. This recipe didn't wow me, but it seems like a good staple food. I will probably make again but with even more veggies ( I already added more than called for) to thicken it up and watch the video while making the chowder. I think a splash of lime juice at the end would be tasty also. Enjoy and don't be afraid to experiment!Read more

Don't Double
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a delicious recipe, but whatever you do, don't double it. We did, and it was a complete disaster.
