I have made this soup alot. Friends ask for the recipe. I found that you need to cut the potatoes a little larger and put in at the end, otherwise they become mushy.

I cut the crushed red pepper to 1/8 tsp. This is a keeper recipe. Yummy!

This was a great recipe to get rid of holiday leftovers. I had a potato medley with 3 different kinds of potatos and left over ham. The creamy sauce that this chowder has is great. A definite comfort food. I think this could have healing power that would rival chicken soup. Its that good.

This has been a winter staple in our house since it was first published! We always add several more stalks of celery and use fresh onion instead of the dried minced onion. Also, due to a dairy allergy in our family, we now thicken it with rice milk instead of regular milk. It can have a bit of a kick for the kids, so you may want to be careful with the crushed red pepper flakes (we omit depending on which kids will be eating it that night!)
