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

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!

Good, easy, solid recipe. Whole family loved it. I left out the celery/peppers b/c we aren't fans and I put it in the crock pot on low. Loved how quick it was to put together.

Good flavor with room for improvement; I added 2 tsp of "Better Than Boullion" and that gave it a little more hearty flavor, (and without the MSG!). Also works with deli rotisserie chicken - easy and quick but doesn't taste "quickly thrown together" Easy on the budget - a winner all around!

Review by volunteer field editor: Being in the mood for soup and also needing to clean my fridge, where I already had some cooked chicken, this seemed the perfect recipe for a rainy day. I did not have evaporated milk so I used half n half, nor did I add the bacon, but it was still a marvelous chowder. This will go into my book as a winner.
