I made a few changes. First I soaked and entire bag (14oz) peas in cold water overnight and changed the water a couple times. Second I cooked the peas in three cans of chicken stock and about a cup of water instead of all water until the peas were soft. And third I used half-n-half instead of heavy cream. Then after pureeing all the ingredients I added more cubed ham (about a cup and a half). So it wasn't all creamy. It turned out very good, but made a lot for two people. I decided to freeze some for another day. I will make again, but will probably only puree half of it to keep a little chunkyness to the soup.

My Best Clam Chowder

Reviewed: May 19, 2009

This was my first attempt at Clam Chowder. It was very good. I used the suggestion of another and added 6 strips of cooked crumbled bacon. I also sauteed the veggies in some of the bacon grease and then added the clam juice till the veggies were tender. I also added cut up cooked shrimp and some flaked crab meat. I did not add the red wine vinegar. It was awesome and my boyfriend loved it and I've made it now several times. Thanks -Great recipe!
