  • “Made this tonight and it’s good but kind of bland. I even added some Red Pepper Flakes to spice it up. It’s filling definitely but the taste was just kind of bland to me. Maybe next time I’ll have 2 garlic cloves chopped instead of the Red pepper Flakes. I gave 3 stars for it being filling but maybe I did something wrong because it had little taste to me.”

  • “Delicious chowder! I got carried away at the farmer’s market, the veggies are all so beautiful!! so instead of frozen veggies I steamed a mix of veggies and used them. zucchini, carrots, broccoli, yellow wax beans, onion and celery. Also added a shake of red pepper flakes for some heat. I cut back the pasta to 1/4 cup of whole wheat elbow macaroni. Using fresh steamed veggies gave it a lovely crunch, if I use fresh veggies next time I will add more liquid, it turned out very thick but delicous. Quite a different clam chowder that I will be making again, thanks for posting.”
