Ham, Potato and Pepper Chowder image

I have been serving this chowder for years now. When I'm feeding family members who don't eat dairy products, I substitute oil for the butter and use coconut milk or soy creamer instead of heavy cream. It still turns out wonderful! -Eileen Stefanski, Wales, Wisconsin

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from my chowder. It was still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder turned out too salty. I think I'll use less ham next time.

The chowder was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked.

This chowder was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it to have more flavor.
