I'm allergic to dairy, so I substituted almond milk and vegan cheese. It turned out great!

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more milk or broth next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

This chowder is a bit too salty for my taste, but it's still very good.
