This was very good although I did alter the recipe a bit to make it healthier. I used 3 cups skim milk and 2 cups of chicken broth then added my potatoes corn (a mixture of sweet corn and regular corn) and spices. I sauteed the onion with cut up chicken breasts then added that to the soup. I also added several dashes of thyme oregano and onion powder. If you let this soup simmer for about an hour the potatoes become mealy and thicken the soup tremendously without having to use heavy cream as the thickener. I felt that it needed quite a bit of pepper which was nicely offset by the sweet corn. My whole family enjoyed this chowder and I'll gladly make it again. Read More

I added mashed potato flakes to thicken it up a bit and used fat free half & half. Canned corn also works just as well. Read More

I modified this recipe as others have suggested (thanks!). I sauteed the onion and shallots in butter in a soup pot, then added four chicken breasts with all fat removed, a 32 oz box of chicken broth, additional water to cover chicken (about 2 cups), and boiled until the chicken was cooked and tender. Then I shredded the chicken with two forks right in the pot. I added 2% milk to reach the desired consistency, and also added thyme, onion powder, scant cayenne pepper, and a dash or oregano; I upped the potatoes to 4, and simmered for 45 mins. to let soup thicken and flavors meld. We served the soup with finely shredded 2% milk cheddar on top. Not a true chowder but quite delicious, and definitely not a bad bet calorie-wise! Read More

Really great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken from the grocery...I added bacon by browning two slices in a pan and then used the grease to sautee my onion. I chopped the bacon and added it in with the potatoes corn etc....delicious! The slight hint of smokiness from it really added depth to the recipe. Read More

husband liked it a lot(after eating cambell's version all these years) the ingriedients were easy to come buy(used up all that corn in the freezer!) and i cooked 3 huge chicken legs in the crock pot filled with water all day and used the broth from that. Kept everything else the same turned out great! Husband liked it better when it thickened up the second day though. Read More

Love this soup! While my potatoes are cooking I sometimes add the rind of a parmesan for extra flavor. Oncce I realized I didn't have heavy cream and it was just as tasty with skim milk and a cup of instant potatoes to thicken it. This is also a great way to use leftover rotisserie or baked chicken.
