I don't care for corn but my husband wanted some corn chowder and I can't stand to buy the store bought so I searched out a healthy simple corn chowder recipe and came upon this one. He loved it and the biggest surprise is so did I, the person who hates cooked corn. I made it with fresh corn and it's gratifying to know all the ingredients going into our food are the best quality we can get.

Not good at all. Tastes like potpourri soup. Did not like the seasoning and it needs milk or cream"

My husband eats anything, and after 3 bites he pushed his bowl away and wouldn't eat anymore. This was not a favorite at my house--not even for me. It had a weird taste and the texture was off...perhaps I did something wrong in the cooking process, though. Sorry :(

Easy and good! The recipe is perfectly clear about the 4 cups of corn + 2 cups of broth & then adding the rest after you process it in the blender. (I used an immersion blender, worked great). If you want it chunkier, then don't process it so much. I love it because it is a healthier version of corn chowder, without all the potatoes & dairy.

This chowder is amazing. The favors are so good together. I sauteed my onions in a pat of butter and added heavy whipping cream at the end just to make it a little more creamy. Delicious and easy.

It tasted like mush corn.

The ease of preparation, and deliciousness of chowder makes it a true winner, and one that I'll definitely be repeating especially during the upcoming cold months. I'm going to have to ignore any less than positive reviews, and just rationalize it by saying that some people just have different tastes. But for this family's tastes, this recipe was spot on. Thank you Nancy, we truly enjoyed this!

Chowder, by its definition, incorporates milk or cream. No milk or cream, can't call it chowder. I call this corn soup. Blah. Yuck.

I was craving corn chowder and found this recipe. Which was great, because I am on a dairy free diet for a week as my doctor thinks I may have a dairy allergy. So thanks for the recipe, it was great! And I will be making this again. Especially, if I have to go dairy free.

I thought the taste was flat. I don't care for Rosemary on anything. It reminds me of the a pine tree and I don't like the flavor it gives off. But I don't think just leaving that out would have afffected the chowder taste that much. I have a recipe I use that calls for a diced carrot, a celery stalk, 3 cloves of garlic minced, three med potatoes cut into 1/2 " cubes, two cups non-fat milk, three slices of lean bacon cut up and fried crisp and then crumbled, and a half cup of instant potatoes for thickening as well as the other items listed in this recipe. I also make Green onion and cheddar and jalapeno Corm Muffins to serve with it. I realize this recipe is supposed to be light, but I like comfort food on autum and winter days. There are also times in which i will add minced lean smoked ham to the chowder.
