Very similar to my own recipe but I use half chicken broth and half clam juice for extra flavor. I also add a shredded carrot plus one cup Half & Half and one cup heavy cream for a rich, delicious chowder. We aren't fans of the bread bowl idea. The result is soggy bread and chowder that quickly becomes too thick and gloopy by absorbing starchiness from the bread. -
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! I just added some colby cheese(1/2 lbs.) RED potatos & red onion.Salt and FRESH ground pepper. Was just like being on th wharf in Monterey. CHEERS! -
This is a quick and simple recipe to make. My son loves clam chowder and was thrilled with it but we both thought it needs some more flavor, not sure what though. I will make this again and play around with it. Thank you for posting it.

<p>I am originally from Johnstown, PA infamous for three floods. Met my husband online, married, and moved to Latrobe, PA. Latrobe is about a 45 minute drive from Johnstown. Arnold Palmer, Mr Rogers (Mr Rogers Neighborhood), and the now defunct Rolling Rock beer brewery, all originate from Latrobe. I have been told that the banana spilt originated here in Latrobe, PA, but that is debateable with a town in Ohio! I have one dog, and a blue heeler, no kids. Unfortunately, my beautiful German Shepard, Adrianne, had to be put to sleep on February 21, 2008. We have adopted Sheila, a Blue Heeler. I am a self taught cook, as I have learned to cook by trial and error. I have A TON of cookbooks, but all of the recipes I try are from this website.</p>
