This chowder has a great consistency, not too thick and not too thin, but I found myself having to add more salt and a few other spices to give it more flavor. Using bacon and chicken stock instead of vegetable stock would have given it more flavor.

Made this for dinner last night and everyone went for seconds. Only change was to use half and half instead of cream and a 16 oz bag of frozen corn. Didn't have fresh cobs at the market yet.

Made this as the recipe decries, just reduced the stock from 6 to 4 cups and the cream from 2 to 1 1/2 cups and the stock was chicken, fresh from the stock pot.. I wanted it a little bit thicker and richer, and it worked. This is a fabulous soup, just perfect. The fresh corn kernels poped,the corn sweetness permeated the dish and the potato played back-up. It's not cloying sweet or too thin, just perfect. Will add this to my soup portfolio for those moments when the corn is just right.

I used 2% milk and 2 bags of 16 oz frozen sweet corn (which is waaay too much corn i think - maybe that is why i didn't like it.

I used 2% because I had no cream. If I have cream when I make it again, I'll use half cream and half milk. Fool proof recipie any way you make it.

I included many of the other reviewers suggestions. I browned a few slices of bacon & used the fat instead of butter to cook carrot, celery, jalepeno along with the onion (& extra garlic. I also used 2% milk instead of cream; it came out good, not too heavy. I did forget to throw in the flour, but it seemed to be a good consistency. Additional salt, pepper & hot sauce are needed.

This is my favorite soup recipe. I do adapt it though:
*Half-and-half instead of cream
*Add carrots and celery
*Add 1-2 diced hamsteaks while sauteing the onions
*Use jumbo size bag of frozen corn instead of fresh (which isn't in season until late summer
*If it is still too rich with the half-and-half try using only 1 cup of it and add a can of creamed corn for thickness/sweetness.
Ultimately this is a favorite recipe of my family and co-workers. Amazing!

Overall, very tasty. Could use a meaty element, even if that's not traditional. Great on a cold night. Will definitely be making this again.

Loved this! I used left-over Corn that we grilled and Chicken Stock as that is all I had on hand. After adding the corn I added some crispy diced bacon and Sharp White Chedder. Recipe would have been great without these additions so I am still giving it a five star. I will be making this again!
