I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This chowder was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I made this chowder last night and it was delicious! The only thing I changed was that I used half-and-half instead of milk. It turned out great and I will definitely be making it again.

Just made this chowder and it's delicious! I used canned salmon because that's what I had on hand, and it worked out great. The chowder was thick and hearty, and the flavors were amazing. Will definitely be making this again!

This leek and salmon chowder was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the leeks adding a subtle sweetness and the salmon providing a rich, savory smokiness. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out beautifully. Will d
