Loved the flavor of this chowder; the only problem I had was that it was way to thin for my taste and I couldn’t get it up to a thick chowder consistency. Next time, I’ll drain the clams because I think the additional juice was overkill.

Best clam chowder ever. We used chipotle hot sauce and ended up reducing it for 20 mins after adding the cream and spices but before adding the clams.

You can chop some of the potatoes or additional potatoes into very small pieces they will cause more thickening too.

Absolutely delish! Made on a chilly, rainy Monday evening. Pure perfection.

Absolutely Brilliant! My family is from Mass and this soup beats the pants off of a lot of chowders, even from the area. Thank you so much for sharing this!

This was a smash hit at my house–even gaining the approval of two 11-year-olds! We really enjoyed the addition of the veggies–they added lots of flavor and some pretty color. I whisked in xanthan gum to thicken it up, which worked perfectly!

Never made clam chowder before, but this was amazing! The boy and I had it for dinner last night, lunch today, and also for dinner tonight. The slurry gets thicker the longer it sits, but really, it isn’t that thin when you make it. Boy just told me he’s having it again for lunch tomorrow. To summarize, this is delicious.

I was going to make a half recipe of this last night, but we had unexpected company, so at the last moment I needed to stretch it, as I’d only bought 4 cans of clams and 1 bottle of clam juice!! I used a whole recipe’s worth of all the veggies, a half recipe’s worth of the clams, clam juice, and potatoes and everything else sort of fell in middle ground. I was really worried that it would come out weird.

Turns out any combination of all these ingredients makes for a lovely chowder.
