I love Manhattan Chowder but this recipe was not my favorite for two reasons: it was fairly bland/boring (but still turned out good); it took WAY longer to soften the potatoes (I should've cut them smaller), though I cut them to a "chowder size" I thought. I also added tobasco and squeezed some lime which made it pretty good. I may or may not make this again but will keep it on hand for a back-up meal when I don't feel like or have the time to do a lot of cooking/preparation.... I may try it again with some of the suggestions from the other reviews. Thanks for posting!

This recipe was great. I love easy delicious recipes and this is it. The only thing I changed was I used scallions instead of the onions. My family loved it.

I'm from RI and I finally found a wonderful Chowda recipe. I loved it so much I'm buying the ingredients for my 3 sons along with an immersing blender as a Christmas gift.. This recipe is super. I will continue to buy the Bar Harbor minced clams along with their clam juice. That was also top notch.

Great base recipe for traditional clam chowder and only minor changes needed to give it a little more umph! Used chicken broth in place of water, sauteed veggies first in small amount of olive oil to soften, added finely diced celery, celery leaves from one stalk, and a bay leaf, plus a few dashes of ground cayenne. Added fresh chopped parsley at end with clams just before serving. Too salty as written - will reduce salt next time.

I made this just as written and it tasted just like Manhattan clam chowder. It was very easy to make and had a lot of flavor.

Excellent soup. Made some mostly quantity changes but at the end, just before adding the clams, I ground up all the veggies with an immersion blender. I also used all clam juice. Turned out thick and very tasty!!

I made this recipe with a few minor changes: I used 3 cans CHOPPED clams; added 2 stalks of celery, chopped; 1 teaspoon of Oregano; a sprinkle of Red Pepper Powder; Omitted the water and used 1-8 oz. bottle of Clam Juice. I just dumped everything in at once and simmered for about 45 min. And didn't mash. YUMMY!!

Very good! Fairly quick, basic recipe. Pretty much followed recipe as written. Instead of mashing veggies, just thickened with a little corn starch & water. Will make again!
