Overall, I thought this chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This chowder was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I wasn't a huge fan of the texture of the cauliflower in this chowder. I think it would be better if the cauliflower was chopped into smaller pieces.

I found that this chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more milk or broth to thin it out.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but this chowder changed my mind. The cauliflower is perfectly cooked and adds a great texture to the chowder.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crab meat. I had some leftover from a crab boil and this was the perfect way to use it up.
