Reviews forBacon Corn Chowder
My Review

"I usually have really good luck with taste of home recipes but this was really disappointing. The only thing we could taste was celery. I even added chicken broth, extra bacon, extra garlic and frozen corn. We will not be trying this again. Wish I'd read the comments before making it."
"Sorry, I didn't like this recipe that much. The remarks from the recipe contributor state that it's 2 servings with some leftover; Taste of Home says it's 4 servings. No way is this 4 servings. I thought it was too much bacon and too few potatoes. I thought it would be better with carrots and without the creamed corn. I thought it called for too much milk."
"I thought this was delicious, but I did make a few changes. I cooked the diced bacon on its own until crisp, then removed it from the pan and cooked the celery and onions in the rendered bacon grease. The potatoes I cooked in a cup of chicken stock in a separate pan while the onions and celery cooked down, then added the cooked potatoes to the main pot and continued as directed. I also added an extra cup of frozen sweet corn, for more corn flavor, and served with a sprinkling of the bacon. This way the bacon stays crisp and packs more of a flavor punch."
"I feel sorry for the husband who said it was the best meal he had had in a long time., Bless his heart, he needs to definitely get out more often because this receipe and all of the receipes for the creamy potatoes are so lame it is pitiful. I ahve been cooking since I was 100 and I could do better than that by the time I was 12. Feel sorry for those of you who think this is so wonderful.What would you do if you ever had something really good to eat??????"
"Pretty weak and bland for Bacon Corn Chowder. But it can be fixed with a few tweaks:
Replace 1 cup of water with I cup of chicken stock.Replace garlic powder with 2 cloves of minced garlicAdd 1 cup of frozen sweet corn kernels.Add 1/2 teaspoon of dried time.Add 1 Tablespoon of lemon juiceGarnish with fresh chopped chives.""I have never ate corn chowder, but my husband loves it, so i tried this recipe. my husband raved about the flavor and said it was the best meal he had in a long time,thanks!"
"Saved and will definitely make this one! Sounds just like the kind of fare we need in northern Canada winter. Thank you."
