I changed it around a little... I am a vegetarian so I used vegetable broth, I decided to make it a REAL chowder, substiuted the macaroni for potatos (I am going to educate all of you here!) a REAL chowder MUST have potatos, it cannot be called chowder without potatoes. I added some cumin and used the black beans and the pintos both in place of kidneys. I also took the corn and drained it, non stick sprayed an oven pan and roasted the corn in broiler checking it for toastiness (gives toastier authenic flavor)I used veggie shredded cheese to top and of coarse cilantro
