  3. I love clam chowder and this was the first time I made clam chowder. After this, I'm never going back to can soup. The recipe was easy and the soup was so rich and creamy. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!!!
     
  4. This was delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I modified slightly to my taste by decreasing the onion quantity and I substituted 2% milk for the cream to cut the calories. It was smooth, thick, and very creamy.
     
  5. This recipe was a hit! I have tried many clam chowder recipes and this was definitely my favorite. The only thing I changed was to add a pinch of dried thyme. I love the thick, creamy texture that only comes from a roux. Thank you for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live here in Utah with my wonderful husband &amp; daughter.&nbsp;<br /> <br />I've been cooking since I was a kid, but really started to get interested in it over the last few years. I'm best at desserts and baking, but like to make just about anything. I especially love to entertain and cook for others. I'm not a picky eater and will try anything once. I'm always making new recipes so it's pretty rare if I make anything twice. These days cooking has me taking on a new challenge to find things that a picky 2 year old will eat and my husband and I will eat as well. It's not always easy but the successes are definitely worth the effort!</p>
