I thought it was amazing! Super easy to make. For creaminess I added half the potatoes (cooked) to my vitamix to purée and added back to the soup before adding the cream which I used coconut milk as I am vegetarian. Taste was great I left the thyme in cause I like the taste 🙂

In reply to Lisa Deason. Hi Lisa. I find it overpowers the delicate flavors of the soup.

Thank you for the additional notes and information. One question I have is why do you recommend not using ground thyme?

In reply to Awbrey. Hi Awbrey! I am so glad you enjoyed! I am glad you caught the nutrition facts--looks like it was using 1 potato and 1 kernel of corn! Sorry about that. I just recalculated using 2% milk the correct potatoes and corn measurements.

Good taste and easy to follow recipe!
I like this except your serving size and nutrition facts are misleading. I don't know where your measurements for the calorie count came from, but for 4 servings, it came out to nearly 300 calories when I calculated it, even with almond milk and olive oil. I wish it was 98 calories, but unfortunately that is not the case. Thank you fro the recipe though!

Lovely for getting back to healthier eating after the holidays. I added a can of creamed corn along with the kernels and doubled the milk/flour mixture and it was quite creamy.

In reply to Sophie. Well, I am glad you enjoyed the flavor and found it to be a good recipe. In the future, use less dark stock and that will create a lighter soup. You may want to let boil a bit longer at the end to get creamier in the future as well.

In reply to Sophie. Hi Sophie, it must have been your stock--there are a lot of brands that are darker in color. You can certainly use chicken stock which will not be as dark. I am sorry you found the color unappealing but I am glad you enjoyed the flavor.

I think this is basically a good recipe but it was frustrating having the chowder turn out a dark brown color. I know the vegetable stock I used was dark and that’s the reason but I didn’t expect it to be totally brown. It also didn’t have the creaminess that you look for in a chowder.

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. It has nothing to do with the potatoes I can assure you. They were pre-cooked baby potatoes. It was definitely the vegetable stock. The chowder was a dark brown color and very unappealing to look at. I just wonder how yours was so white? Is it the brand I used I wonder, should I use chicken stock next time instead? It tasted fine but was very unappealing to look at

In reply to Sophie. Hi Sophie! I use vegetable or chicken stock. Some vegetable broth is a bit brown in hue, so that may have been your issue. It may also have been that you did not wash your potatoes well before adding to your soup (they have quite a bit of dirt and can give any liquid a brown tinge if not scrubbed clean). And you want to cook the soup until just thickened and bubbly (or just beginning boiling) after you raise the heat. Hope that helps.

What kind of broth did you use? My chowder is brown. Also when you return it to high heat- do you bring it to a boil?
