I play around with ingredients in my pantry instead of running to the store when I don’t know what’s for dinner. This yummy chicken corn chowder was one of my experiments. Cut some fat by leaving out the bacon. It's still tasty. —Barbara Banski, Fenton, Michigan

I think it is a good base recipe however I agree with others that it was a trifle bland.I added more pepper and got the old man sneezing. For Sactofoodie, evaporated milk is not sweet, did you use condensed milk?

Turned out yummy! Being A partially dairy free family, I substituted butter for oil and unsweetened cashew milk for the canned cow! It was a little sweet but the bacon and cheeses (cheddar and vegan) helped!

I just made this soup and it was so easy. I followed the recipe. I was never a fan of corn chowder, but I am now.

Didn't like the evaporated milk, made it taste too sweet. Also a little bland for me - spiced it up with some Tabasco. Also threw in a handful of spinach and a handful of grated cheese...

I like the use of cream corn, instead of the dreaded "canned soup" . I eliminated the pepper , personal choice. YUM!!

This was so easy to put together. It was the perfect meal on a cold winter's night. I only used half of a red pepper but it was a decent sized pepper. I would definitely make this again.

I don't know what happened but this did not come out good at all. The red pepper was so overpowering. It made the chowder taste like the pepper but not in a good way. Won't be making this again.

loved this! Made as it, except I had about 1/2 a cup of leftover fried potatoes from breakfast, so I tossed those in those as well. Will make this again!
