This is a great starting point but I spiced this recipe up a little. I added chopped onion and zucchini. Also garlic and Italian seasoning and I filled the can of diced tomatoes with water and added that. If you like spice I added some hot sauce and red pepper flake. I think adding more veggies makes it heartier and more filling. It was fantastic! Read More

This recipe truly was easy and very tasty! I took the advice of the others and added some garlic powder and instead of the celery I put in onions (I just don't personally care for cooked celery). I would make this again in a heartbeat! Read More

I loved this recipe! I added zucchini italian seasoning garlic powder and a small can of hunts tomato sauce plus I used tilapia instead of cod and it was delicious. I liked that it was simple to make and healthy. I would recommend it to anyone. Read More

What's great about this recipe is that it gives you a real versatile base of a chowder. If you follow another reviewer's suggestion and add to a can of tomatos a can of water and then a small can of tomato sauce you have a perfect beginning of a soup. I add a dash of Sriracha hot Chili sause to give it a kick. I also omit the celery (personal preference) and add sauteed chopped onion. Then add whatever vegetables you have on hand. So far I have made it with califlower and beans (which results in a summery take on a chowder) and with zuchinni and squash. I imagine it'll do well with potatoes and other wintry vegetables so I am planning on making it again and again. And the best thing is that it is SO fast to make - the only time you spend on this is opening the cans and chopping up the veggies! Read More

yummy cozy and extremely quick and easy. I didn't have time to go out and buy celery so I substituted with a few boiled potatoes and then mashed the whole thing up with a wandmixer thing and it turned out hearty and thick. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

This gets five stars for simplicity healthiness and the ability to customize (great soup for losing weight yet still getting healthy fat and protien). I added dry red wine canned clams and oysters and onions and garlic sauteed in a bit of oil. I also think potatoes could go well. Once I also used a bit of old bay with a touch of celery seed because I didn't have celery on hand. Thanks for such an easy healthy recipe! Read More

Very quick and good! I added a little garlic salt and a few dashes of hot sauce. I also used Pollack fillets instead of Cod only because that's what I had. Read More

Easy and delicious. I sauteed an onion and the celery with a little garlic in olive oil first - then added the staple ingredients. Served with crusty warm bread - wonderful recipe! Read More
