"When the weather gets chilly, we enjoy 'comfort foods' like this hearty chowder," says Sheena Hoffman of North Vancouver, British Columbia. "It's easy to prepare, and the aroma of it as it simmers makes my mouth water."

I had doubled the recipe for leftovers the second time I made it and added a cup of diced chicken the next day. It was great now I have 2 soup recipes instead of 1. A nice sit by the fire with crusty bread soup.

Simply wonderful! I shared this recipe with my sister and niece and they love it also. Great comfort food.

This was very yummy! After tasting it, I preferred to add a bit of salt, but other than that, it had excellent flavor! You'll want to double it, though, because leftovers will be a must-have :)

kitkatkiss18 - I use Pamela's Ultimate Baking and Pancake Mix to substitute for the flour in soup recipes. It is gluten-free and seems to work great to thicken the soups that I have made (especially when you are using small amounts of flour as needed here). Hope this helps!

How can I make this chowder gluten free? Is there anything I can use in place of the flour to thicken it without changing the taste or texture?

It was an ok base for a cheese soup, however I will add somethings for some extra flavor.
