Pretty good! But for 3 servings I added 2 teaspoons of flour and 1 teaspoon of butter and 2 extra teaspoons of red wine (substitute for red wine vinegar) and the taste was absolutely exquisite! It made it just creamy and buttery enough. Also, I added a generous amount of pepper.

This is the first recipe I've ever rated - I admit I used some of the recommendations of others, and I have to say it was amazing. I made the clam chowder this past weekend for a community clambake - so I made enough for 30 people. It was so easy to increase the recipe size, and I got more compliments than I ever imagined. I was told it was the best clam chowder ever, and at the very least it was among the very best. Thanks for sharing this recipe, and thanks for all the great suggestions for improving it! The most important improvements included using the bacon grease, cooking the flour long enough not to leave a pasty taste, using a little less vinegar (I used white balsamic rather than red wine), and adding the old bay.

Because the recipe was well explained, even someone like me -cooking impaired- was able to execute this wonderful, hearty dish. I used chopped clams, and just the clam juice from the cans. I served it on bread bowls: excellent!

Perfect for fall & winter nights! It makes a ton of chowder. I also increased the clams to 3 cans minced clams and 2 cans of whole clams. I also used clam juice instead of water (it took the whole 8 oz. bottle). I took other users advise and browned 5 strips of bacon before sauteed the vegetables and crumbled the bacon & chives over the top when served. I will use a little more bacon next time and maybe even one more can of clams. It was fabulous! Thank you!

This recipe was delicious. I did not stray from the recipe given, except I used slightly less red wine vinegar because I was nervous of what it would do to the finished product. Made it with Ham & Swiss Sandwiches on thick cut sourdough bread and it was PERFECT!

This was a great chowder. Made it for the first time for a group of friends and received lots of compliments. There was not a drop left!! The only thing I changed was added less butter and used fat free half and half to make it a little healthier. Also, I forgot to add the vinegar at the end so I'm not sure how that would have made it different. Took some others suggestions and had bacon bits on the side for those that wanted to sprinkle on top of the soup. Definitely a keeper!!
