I make this a lot. I add 3 slices cooked bacon and a big handful of grated cheddar cheese. Yum!

Easy to prepare. Didn't have green peppers. Tasted fine.

I have committed this to memory, I use it so often. Very simple. I do a few variations. I use a yellow bell pepper instead of a green one. My picky child doesn't notice that I sneaked in a bell pepper that way. Also, I usually do not add that last can of water as it makes for a richer soup without it. I also coarsely mash the potatoes while they are in the soup, once they are cooked, this also helps thicken the soup. I use golden skinned potatoes so I can leave the peels on.

Use red pepper - sweeter and colorful instead of green. Add cooked bacon!

Yummy, used chicken broth instead of water. Gave more flavour to Chowder, red and orange peppers for colour.

This was a very good recipe. The only change I made to this recipe was I added half a package of bacon.

I substituted the canned milk for half and half, added a can of niblets corn (for texture) and diced smoked bacon. This is a good recipe.

Pretty good. I would suggest that you use a large skillet. After the potatoes and water, there wasn't any room for the milk and corn in my largest skillet. I would recommend this recipe.
