I don't eat seafood, but my dad does and I made this for him. He loved it! I followed the directions exactly, no substitutions. I can't wait to make it again, since it was so easy!

I also added two cloves of fresh garlic to the celery and onion, but left out the bacon, I didn't want that to be such a strong taste. I also added a can of diced new potatoes in as well and a little less clams. It was great!

This has been an OMG GOOD chowder, But.. If you have more that 2 people eating it, You should double or even triple the recipe amounts. I had to make a second trip to the store because my daughter had her boyfriend over. To coin a contemporary phrase (WE TORE IT UP!!) Had to add a little more flour and water as a thickening agent but UM, UM, that stuff was great. Heaven on the lips. Took the Chill off A Cold and Snowy Day in Colorado.

I was disappointed with this recipe. I followed the directions exactly (except where it forgot to tell us when to add the additional clam juice, i did that on my own) and it "broke" almost immediately. I also was not crazy about the flavor/consistency.

The bacon needs to be fried crisp before adding the veggies. I had to skim fatty pieces of bacon off of the top. I added carrots and I boiled potatoes in the juice mixture until they were fork tender and then I added light cream instead of half and half. I used 3 cans of clams as well.

Absolutely delicious. My family just loved this recipe. Kids gobbled it up and husband had thirds!!! I changed the recipe a bit. I did added one more tbsp of flour and used 500ml of half and half and 500ml of milk. I also did not use clam juice as I did not have any. I cooked the chowder but left out the clams and let it simmer while I steam cooked the fresh clams with white wine and garlic butter. I added the 2 cups of stock from the steaming of the clams to the chowder and then, just before serving the chowder, added the chopped clams. I did not want the clams to over cook. It was just perfect this way. Our family likes a mild clam flavor and this chowder was perfect. All the flavors were a perfectly delicious combination. Thanks for the great recipe!!!!!

Outstanding! Only used to bottles of clam juice but it still turned out perfectly. It was one of the best clam chowders I have made yet.

I love it! I often make little cookbooks for my friends and family and I put this in it. They tried it and all told me to give it a 5-star. Thanks for the great recipe!
