    Delicious! We really loved this quick and easy corn chowder. Next time, I think that I might use only half of the amount of cumin called for in the recipe. I'm a huge lover of cumin and thought it was fine, but others in my family thought it was a little too overpowering. This chowder would also be great topped with crushed tortilla chips. Thank you for sharing this wonderul recipe. *Made for PAC Spring '08*

    Very, very nice chowder! I pretty much followed the list of ingredients, but did double the amount of corn that the recipe called for, & also used a mile picante sauce! A keeper for sure! [Tagged, made & reviewed for Newest Zaar Tag, 08A, cooking game]
