Very good. I used less cheese though and very sadly did not have any broccoli. But it still was wonderful. I also added some Italian sausage to the hubby's bowl and he loved this.

I used 2 cups of cheese rather than 3. Delicious!

Just made this last night. It was good, but I can't say it was the best...I'd add cheese gradually to see how much you want. I added it all at once and thought it was way too cheesy (and I adore cheese!)

I also added chicken since I had it thawed out. It was yummy, just less cheese for me!

Yum this is really good chowder. I used fat free milk and 2% cheese. The rest I left exactly the same. It turned out perfect, nice thick and creamy. Good amount of cheese. Even my 4 year old son scarfed down 2 bowls.

We loved this! Our 18 month old finished her bowl and asked for more two times! With all the veggies, I was happy to give it to her.

It is the BEST chowder recipe I have ever had. We eat it a lot every winter season.

I have made this recipe several times now and OMG!!!! The best soup ever! Thick and chocked full of flavor. Serve it up with some crackers and your belly will be pleased!

Substituted the whole milk for non-fat. Did not make a difference in the creamy.

Made this after dinner tonight for our lunches tomorrow. It has been our second supper! We LOVE it!
