Great recipe. Instead of 3 cups of half and half, I used 1 pint (2 cups) of half and half and one cup of 2% milk. Also, I used clam juice instead of water, and stirred a bit of corn starch at the end to thicken it up. My mother who hates clams even loved it!!!

I made this while camping for a large crowd. Did things a little different. Used a can of boiled clams and chopped them and my onions (not together) in my food prossessor before I left. I did use a few cans of minced clams but they are expensive. I also used a jar of clam juice with the juice from the minced clams and a little water to cook the potatoes with. Everyone loved this chowder very much.

This is a wonderful, rich and creamy chowder recipe that is simple to prepare and even better the next day. I usually add 1 additional can of clams and thicken just a bit with sifted flour...fabulous!

Very good. I added extra potatoes and used cream instead of half & half. I will make this again.

Reading the reviews before making this recipe I made the following changes: I used bottled clam juice instead of the water (1 ½ cups); 2 cups half-and-half and one-cup heavy cream instead of 3 cups half-and-half, and 3 - 10oz. cans of clams. The other adjustment I made was to use 1-cup ham instead of bacon as I find that bacon gets to soggy in soups, the ham is a perfect substitute and give the soup a bit more bite.

Very, very good recipe. I made this for 25 people they all loved it. I doubled the clams but only because my clientelle like a really "meaty" meal.

This was a great tasting, easy recipe, but I did make some changes, I used 3 cans of clams, I used pre-cooked potato, and a combination of both light cream, 2% milk and skim milk, I used chicken broth instead of water, I removed most of the cooked bacon before I put the onion in then sprinkled the bacon on the soup before serving. I also used a hand held mixer to thicken it up before I added the clams. I will make this again, thanks!

YUMMY! This one was a hit with both my hubby and my son and stepson! I added extra clams and clam juice and to thicken it up I added some potato flakes. Simply awesome recipe!

I made this soup for a super bowl party, Everyone said it was wonderful. I thought it was a little too thin. I would thicken next time. Great taste and thank you.

Made this for my husband, the clam chowder expert, he loved it. He is a picky eater as are all men from what I read. I added (2 ea) shredded carrots and celery as well used 2 cups chicken stock in place of water and clam liquid. Prior to adding liquid I did make a roux with the onion and bacon mixture + 1 tablespoon butter, it really help to thicken it up. I will definately make this again.

This is the BEST clam chowder recipe ever! My family loved it at Christmas and everyone had to copy it. I, too, added an extra can of clams and a little seasoned salt and pepper and a bay leaf. It gave it the extra flavor that was somewhat lacking. This will be a family tradition...Bill Rodgers

Awesome chowder, I needed to thicken it with a flour/butter paste but I'm sure it was because of something I did or didn't do!

I live in New England and love taking bites of clams with every spoonful so next time I will add an extra can of clams maybe even two!

WOW! This is fabulous! I have tried many chowder recipies and this is the one i will use from now on. It is lighter than most, but extremely flavorful. I doubled the recipe and it made the perfect amount for lunch or leftovers. To thicken it, i used a little bit of cornstarch and let it warm all afternoon. This is a keeper!
