New England Easy Clam Chowder

"My friend gave me this recipe when we lived in Maine. Be sure and eat it with some good sour dough bread - maybe even inside a bread bowl (like they serve in CA)."

  1. What a beautiful chowder Trisha. Made exactly as written using the heavy cream option. My sister in law was visiting from New Brunswick and brought us some home jared clams, which I mixed with baby clams for a memorable treat. This recipe is very similar to the one that my dh grew up with so needless to say it was a hugh hit. Quick and easy to make, dinner was on the table in no time at all. Thanks for sharing a recipe that I will make again.
     
  2. Delicious and soooo easy!
     
  3. Wonderful soup. Will make again.
     
  4. Made exactly as written, which is rare for me. A very nice chowder and especially liked the flavor that the bacon added. Thanks for posting, Trisha.
