Absolutely delicious and so tasty! Very easy to make! The hardest part about this recipe was finding the leek soup as it is no longer sold near me. I finally found it 4 hours away when I was bringing my dtr to college, I looked in Wegmans super market and found some, so I bought 4 packets and made the soup twice. I also used clam juice to cook the potatoes in, just all in all a tasty soup that we all loved. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed once I found the leek soup mix. Thanks so much for sharing, Cindy! Will be making more of this!

After reading all of the great reviews, I was a little disappointed in this recipe. It is way too heavy on the potatoes and too light on clams for our taste. I only used 2 1/2 potatoes, and it was still too much. However, I think the base for the chowder is very good. Next time, I'll use a bit less potatoes and at least one more can of clams. Using fat free half and half did not detract from the flavor and richness of the soup, so don't be afraid to try that! With some tweaking, I'm sure I'll try this chowder again.

Wow Cindy, this recipe was awesome. I really enjoyed it and the only change I made was to use evaporated milk instead of half-n-half. And I used cut up razor clams. Very good should be able to give this one more stars! Good job and thanks.

One of our favorites. Perfect consistency, easy & delicious. My husband asks for this every week. My 16 year old son claims "this is like REAL chowder" (not thick/floury canned stuff). Thanks so much for sharing! Would give 10 stars if I could.

This clam chowder has become a hit with the entire family.My ("picky eater") 8 year old grandson tried eating some but only after I bribed him. Now he wants to come over for dinner whenever I make this clam chowder.

This soup is delightful! Liked everything about it. The veggies and bacon are a wonderful part of the soup. It is the perfect creaminess. I read a lot of the reviews, including Cindy's, and did the following: Added 2 stalks of celery, 1 extra can of clams, and used 2 bottles of clam juice to cook the potatoes, celery, and carrots in. Thanks for sharing, Cindy!
