I made this with leftover Easter ham. I had to double it for my large family, but I loved the flavor! So good we may have to triple it just so we can have leftovers!

Although this chowder was easy and tasted good I was a bit disappointed after reading such rave reviews IMO it's a little bland.

I've made this recipe for years. I've had to increase the amounts so there is enough for my family because they all love it (my 5 year old daughter's favorite). I now add broccoli and use milk instead of cream/evap milk and it is still great.

Rainy and cool today. Fixed this for supper with a salad and crusty rolls. It was a big success. Used 2% evaporated milk and 2% sharp cheddar cheese along with low sodium chicken broth. This recipe is a keeper.
