This was so good! I did make a couple of changes as other reviewers suggested. I added the butter while cooking the bacon and onions. I used clam juice instead of the water. I also used about 2 tbsp of potato starch (potato flour) to thicken the soup. I used 1 cup of heavy cream and 3 cups of half and half. I also used 3 cans of chopped clams and 1 can of whole baby clams, because we like to really taste the clams in our chowder. After cooking the bacon, onions, and potatoes on the stove I transferred everything to my crockpot and let it cook all afternoon on low. I served the chowder in toasted sourdough bread bowls. My family was so impressed and absolutley loved this! Yummy!
