My wife and I have adjoining offices, and we keep a variety of soups and snacks on hand so we can eat in together when we don't both have time to eat out. This soup is one of our favorites. We like the flavor and the texture (creamy, with nice chunks of potato, lots of corn kernels, pieces of carrot and bell pepper). I keep a bottle of hot pepper on hand to spice it up, but my wife prefers it as it is. We microwave it in the envelope and then pour it into two mugs. There's just the right amount in one evelope for the two of us when I have a sandwich to go with it. Without the sandwich, I find one envelope about right for me.

This isn't the healthiest of the Pacific Foods soups that we've tried in terms of fat/protein/carbohydrate content. The beef stew is better in that regard, but we don't like the beef stew without considerable extra seasoning (and it's very thin for a stew) and we like the creaminess of this chowder. We eat a balanced diet, so that really isn't an issue. This is very satisfying, and it's the one office food item we order again and again.

This product is OK. It's certainly edible; and the portion in the pouch is large enough for a meal for one or as a soup for two. It has a distinctive taste, not entirely to my liking, but it's OK. I don't agree at all with the reviewer who gave it one star and sent the rest back. However, I must admit that I did give two or three of the nine pouches to friends at work who forgot to bring their lunch. For those who are looking for a prepared corn chowder, I must really recommend the ones in the Campbell Chunky brand or the one from Progresso.

This is *awesome* soup!! I was a little iffy about it (about any soup coming from a can or bag!) but ordered it anyway, it sounded so good. My hubby, toddler and I *love* it and could eat it every week if we had more money to buy it! We took some on a camping trip and shared with all of our friends that we were with, and everyone agreed how great it was. Not as good as home-made, but really really good! I'm not sure about the taste buds of the reviewer that gave it 1 star, but we all thought it was worth getting again..!

I opened one packet (which was quite large for a serving, and shared it with 3 others in my office. We all took one spoonful and in unison said it was terrible. No one could continue eating it, and I sent back 8 of the 9 packets. Not edible, in our humble opinion.
Sorry!

This soup is easy to heat up - just pop in the microwave for two minutes. The taste is good, very creamy and not too spicy. It has been a hit with vegetarian guests.
