This soup is sweet and mild and filled with enough vegetables for one meal, so serve it with a peppery little salad for contrast. This is another Moosewood cookbook original!

I made this last night for a small gathering of friends and family. Everyone loved it! Based on some of the comments from other reviewers about the soup being bland, I added a little cayenne pepper and used sharp cheddar cheese. This is simple comfort food at its best. Thanks for posting Tish! (I tried to give this five stars, but I can't get it to work)

....and in my dream, I was eating this wonderful, warming, creamy chowder.... oh wait, pinch me, that wasn't a dream, it was for real. Seriously, I find this chowder to be a great hit and the first thing I think of when I'm craving comfort food. I use an organic vegetable broth, and add all kinds of veggies that I find in my refrigerator. However, I do leave out the peas, personal preference. I try different cheeses, depending on what I have and add some leeks. I simmer this low and slow for an hour or so. I think you could just about add any veggie you like and even add some cooked chicken. Thanks for posting.

I made this a while ago and forgot to rate it. It was absolutely delicious. I did make a couple of minor changes though. We had bbq seafood skewers leftover from the night before that I added at the last minute to heat through. (shrimp, scallops, monkfish) They were basted with a very hot sauce. What an amazing flavour it gave the soup. I used chicken broth instead of water, used evaporated milk for a little bit of a thicker soup and omitted the cheese. We loved it. I will definitely make this again.
