      This was incredible, I added a half pint of heavy cream and used corn starch instead of flour. Also added "Old Bay" Seasoning instead of the hot pepper sauce. Mmmm, Mmmm good.

            My husband loved this version...i didn't like it quit as much... I added parsley to it.... and I took part of it out and blended it to help make it thicker... apparently I'm not a fan of baby clams....too clamie for me... and I didn't like the celery in it, but thats a personal thing...

              This was my first time making clam chowder. This recipe was perfect and so yummy. I did however use red potatoes instead of russet only because I like them more.

                    This was better than what you would get in a resturant. I ended up doing a bit of substituting on a few of the ingredients, this was using margarine instead of butter, two cans of clams-minced and chopped, red skinned potatoes, red onion, cayenne hot sauce 1/2 teaspoon. This was an excellent meal served with garlic bread on a cold winter night.
