This soup is too bland for me. I like my chowder to be a little more flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out lumpy. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come out right.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few leftover potatoes after I make mashed potatoes, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.
