This recipe was a disaster! The chowder turned out watery and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chowder was good, but it was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll add more milk next time.

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I added a bit of chopped celery and carrot to the chowder and it turned out even better! Thanks for the great recipe.

I'm not a big seafood fan, but this chowder changed my mind! The shrimp and clams were tender and flavorful and the broth was creamy and delicious.

This chowder was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen shrimp and clams and it still tasted amazing.
