Tilapia Corn Chowder image

This light soup is a great way to slip corn and tilapia(of course)into your late-summer menu. Make it a meal; enjoy with a green salad & tomatoes a nice vinaigrette and of course oyster crackers. We made this soup and it was delicious! **However, the recipe said it was low in calories 288 and when zaar figured it out it came to be 324** Now, the question is - which one is right?

This chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I'm not a huge fan of tilapia, but this chowder was surprisingly good! The corn and potatoes were perfectly cooked and the chowder was very creamy. I would definitely make this again.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more liquid, such as milk or broth. Otherwise, the flavors were good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
