This recipe is now one of my all-time favorite soup recipes. It would be good for tailgate parties, brunches, or winter luncheons. I did add a couple extra potatoes just because I love them and I skipped the bacon, but I posted it as written. Recipe courtesy of Beyond Burlap, Idaho's Famous Potato Recipes Junior League of Boise. DELICIOUS!

I'm not a big fan of chowder, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The broth was so creamy and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked perfectly.

This chowder is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I love this chowder! It's so creamy and flavorful. I always make a big batch and freeze it in individual portions so I can have it on hand for a quick and easy meal.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I had some cooked salmon and shrimp, and I just threw them into the chowder. It was delicious!

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this chowder without the seafood. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chowder turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't thicken up.

This chowder is a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred a thinner broth.
