I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder turned out too thick. I think I'll add more milk next time.

This chowder is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time I make it.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but I loved this chowder. The cheese and bacon really helped to mellow out the flavor of the broccoli. I'll definitely be making this again.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some broccoli and red peppers that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the chowder and it turned out great. I'll definitely be doing that again next time I have leftover vegetables

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of broccoli, red peppers, and cheddar, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors work really well together. I especially liked the crispy bacon on top.

This chowder is so delicious and easy to make. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze. I've already made it twice this month, and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used frozen broccoli and red peppers, and it still turned out great. My kids loved it, too!
