    Wish I'd read the reviews before I made this and added some extras. The flavor was really strong which I guess isn't a bad thing but not what I typically like in a chowder. Overall it was good but I don't think I'd make it again as written.

    This recipe is a great starter - it's got it mostly right. Here are the changes I made - this chowder came out absolutely delicious. it tasted like lobster bisque. 1. chop up two slices of bacon and brown in the stock pot until almost crunchy; remove from pan and drain on paper towel. 2. - Read more ...

    This recipe has a wonderful flavor. I added a splash more milk and the consistency was perfect. Thank you for a delicious recipe.

    I thought this was delicious! While I was making the soup base I remember thinking that it already tasted like it was made for scallops before I even added them. This is so good and rich. I added some potatoes to make a main course out of it. I used frozen scallops but next time - Read more ...

    This was a wonderfully tasty chowder! I, too, added a few extra ingredients. In addition to the green onions and mushrooms, I sauteed some shallots, 1 clove minced garlic, and diced celery too. I added a bit of dill, paprika, and a couple pinches of Old Bay seasoning. Also threw in a handful of chopped, - Read more ...

    Thank goodness I read the reviews first and learned that you really can't go wrong with this recipe! I didn't have any milk mushrooms or swiss cheese on hand so I used evaporated milk creamed corn and diced potato carrot and red pepper for colour.

    I melted the cheese right into the soup and used more milk than was called for and it was fantastic! The second time around I threw in three cubed potatoes and a bag of frozen corn.....and it was even better! This is a fun soup to play around with doubt you can ruin it.

    A GREAT CHOWDER! NEEDS A LITTLE MORE LIQUID SO I ADDED MORE WINE SINCE I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO TASTY. DEFINITELY A KEEPER.

    YUM!!!!! This tastes so good! I will definitely be making this again. I did have to make one change to the recipe though. It didn't seem to have enough liquid to go with the scallops and mushrooms so I ended up adding about 3/4 cup half-and-half. Turned out perfect. Thanks for this recipe!
