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!

Me and my group, for school made this.

It was the best in the class!

It has a great taste, and even my picky little brother, and my dad LOVED it. (:

Although all the veggys and no meat, they thought would be a negative point. It wasn't, at all! It was that GOOD. And simple.

I make this chowder very often; it is one of my favorites!

An excellent recipe. I have to cook low sodium and this chowder has enough flavor to still be delicious. The sprinkle of cheese is perfect.

This recipe turns out perfect every time! It's great for a cool evening and great for cleaning out your vegetable drawer in the fridge.

This soup is excellent. I made it tonight and it turned out perfect and so tasty. A wonderful comfort food. Didn't have broccoli but used 2 kinds of cauliflower, didn't miss the broccoli
