I followed the recipe exactly and my chowder turned out really watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This chowder was just okay. I found it to be a little bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I made this chowder for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I think the secret is in the roux - it really thickens the chowder and gives it a rich flavor.

This chowder was a hit with my family! The flavors of the broccoli, red pepper, and cheddar cheese were perfectly balanced. I especially loved the addition of the cornbread croutons - they added a nice crunchy texture.
