This was arguably the best soup I’ve ever tasted. I used frozen sweet corn, and it was all delicious. My whole family raved about it and want it again!

In reply to Sam. Hi, Sam, I'm about to make this wonderful corn chowder again, and I like to read through the comments when I have some time. We are all so glad that you are much more open to sharing non-desserts now. Maybe there are things that your ever-growing family enjoys that you haven't shared yet?

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah! If you're OK with using butter I would sub the bacon for an additional 2 Tbsp of butter. You could also substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth. I really hope that helps, and thank you for the kind words about my recipes and for trusting my recipes, I really appreciate it!

Wondering if there is a way to make this vegetarian. The idea of corn chowder sounds so delicious but the bacon is a no-go in our household. Thanks. P.S. Sam, you are my go-to for cake recipes – so many amazing choices and I know I can rely on the recipe to turn out right.

Sam, I can’t say enough about your recipes. I have made several of your soup recipes and not once have I been disappointed. This one is no exception. This is just what I needed! I will say that I made one addition. I added 8 ounces of shredded pepperjack cheese and if you’ve ever watched Friends, “Oh… My… GAWD”. So amazing. Thank you for delivering once again. My family thanks you as well!

Just as wonderful as it was last year. Instead of half and half, I used 12 oz evaporated milk, and 4 oz heavy cream. That worked very well. I added the smoked paprika before the flour, so it could toast in the oil a bit. I noticed that you have the flour listed in the ingredients before the garlic, but it is added after the garlic. I used the very small Yukon gold potatoes, because they have the tenderest skins. After adding the corn, I scraped the cobs with the back of the knife, to get the corn “milk”, for more corn flavor. This will definitely always be the recipe I use. The red bell pepper adds a nice touch, and the Poblano pepper just contributes to the overall flavor, rather than being distinct. Great soup!

Made this today and it turned out great! After tasting, I did more than triple the salt, pepper and smoked paprika, but I like a lot of seasoning, so that’s just me. Thanks for another great recipe! I also have a request, how about a black forest cake recipe??

Great soup! I added about 1/2 cup of whipping cream instead of the half and half. That was fine, so I didn’t have to open another container. I cooked the onion and peppers very slowly, while I prepared the corn. That worked very well.

In reply to Derek. Hi Derek! I honestly haven't tried it, but I would definitely give it a shot. My only concern is the half and half could potentially separate but I'm not sure so it's definitely worth a try. Let me know how it goes. :)

Hi Sam,
This sounds like a great dish…
Can tghe chowder be frozen once cooked? I’m a single, and while I could mess around with ingredient measures, I would like to make a full batch and save the leftovers for another meal…

In reply to Priscilla. Hi Priscilla! You can use heavy cream here, the soup will just be a little bit thicker and richer, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. ;)

Favorite chowder! Can I use heavy creme instead of half and half?

While I haven’t made this recipe yet, I just read it, it looks delicious!
I have read that if the cobs sans kernals are boiled, it will result in more corn flavor in a recipe. Have you tried this in your recipe?
I am definitely going to make this, since corn is my favorite vegetable. Thank you for this recipe!
