Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Warm up on a chilly day with a serving of this hearty chowder.

Substitute

Substitute KRAFT Sharp Cheddar Cheese for the CRACKER BARREL Cheese. Or, for a quick and easy alternative, use KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese.

Hearty Golden Chowder

Omit corn. Prepare soup as directed, substituting 2 cups KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese for the CRACKER BARREL Cheese and adding 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives along with the undrained vegetables.

Found the creamed corn flavor overpowering. Otherwise the chowder wasn't bad, just boring to taste. Very easy to make and the ingredients are staples around our house. Maybe less corn and more of the other veggies would balance the flavor.
