Country Fish Chowder -- pg. 174

Everyone liked this one.  It was just about as good as the "gold" standard Seafood Chowder from page 176.  It's a lot cheaper, though.  It only has clams and flounder as the seafood, and the other one has scallops and shrimp.  Way good.  I'm giving it 5 spoons, because although it may lack a little of the extras of the Seafood Chowder, it's a lot less expensive and lower maintenance.

French Onion Soup -- pg. 120

What can I say?  It's French onion soup.  I like it.  It was easy to make.  Everyone ate it.  French onion soup is not one of my favorites, though.  So, I think I have to give it three spoons.  If you're a fan of French onion soup, and want an easy recipe, make this one.

Potato Clam Chowder -- pg. 185

Not so great.  Now, my family likes bacon.  A lot.  They liked that there was bacon in this soup.  To me, clam chowder shouldn't have bacon in it.  True...bacon usually makes everything better.  I just don't think a battle between the clam taste and the bacon taste is a good one.  I will give it two spoons.
