This creamy full-flavored soup is as perfect for company as it is for the family. If you make the chowder ahead, reheat, then add the spinach just before serving.

Really enjoyed it. I added bacon and celery too. Two of my kids don't like shrimp so I put that in after I scooped their's. Read More

This was excellent! I like my soup's on the thin side and this was perfect for me. If you want it more on the chowder side you might want to increase the flour to 3 tablespoons. If you like things spicy add a couple dashes of Old Bay seasoning just for kicks. The leftovers hold up well in this and that is always an extra bonus for me. Hat's off from this soup lover Potatoes USA! Read More

Was a great recipe and easy to make I used some cumin instead of powdered mustard and some Creole Seasoning to add a little zest to it. I will definitely make it again easy to play around with some different options. Read More

Very good soup but I just can't leave a recipe alone. I added one stock of sliced celery and 4 cloves of fresh garlic (instead of the powder) with the onion. I also added a 8.75 oz. can of corn to round out the soup when the shrimp and spinach went in. Add red pepper flakes for a little heat. The original recipe was way too thin for my taste so I bumped it up by using 3 times the flour called for and it was perfect. Read More

So good! The flavor reminded me of a shrimp version of Chicken & Dumplings. I will continue to make this for the Fall season! Read More

Wonderful dish- we 3 loved it. Grocery store was out of spinach so I sustituted a little kale and I used a smoked paprika. I also snuck in a chopped up yellow squash- my 10 year old didn t notice the extra vegatable. Will def. make again. Thank you Potato Goodness! Read More
