To us, asparagus is the taste of spring, so we enjoy it in as many meals as we can. When this thick and creamy chowder is on the table, we know spring has arrived. -Elisabeth Harders West Allis, Wisconsin

I had a chicken breast left over from an other meal that wasn't enough to feed the family and it was already thawed so I chopped it and cooked it in the chicken broth and added to the chowder. it was to die for will make this again soon. thanks for the recipe.

Excellent. My whole familiy loved it. To cut down on calories, I did make it with 2 % milk and it was fine.
