I made this 2 days in a row! 1st time I followed the recipe to the exact. It was good! But it did not thicken up for me. I think I added way to much water. But the second day I added a bottle of clam juice and a 3rd can of chopped clams and 1 Tbs. of flour almost at the end of cooking time to thicken. And it came out way better than the 1st time I made it. It was delicious! My husband and daughter had seconds and my husband ate it again for breakfast. He said it was the best Clam Chowder he ever had. This recipe will be part of fave recipe collection and I will be making this for the months and years to come. Thank you so much xo
