Great soup for a cold's winter night. I made it for an informal dinner party with some friends. I served it with a bread platter and a big Mango salad. I didn't have any Old Bay Seasoning, but it was still wonderful. I used more vegtables than in called for to make it go further. Even the kids loved it, now that says something. This chowder doesn't call for bacon. Yahoo, we don't need the fat! Thanks so much for the great recipe! It was great!!

This was a great clam-CORN chowder recipe, which is what I was looking for. Didn't have leeks on hand. Used 1can evap. milk and 2 cups skim milk. Thickened with corn starch Also loved the fact that there is no bacon, my husband doesn't eat pork. My whole family loved it and I will make it again. If you aren't looking to taste the corn, choose another recipe without it in the recipe title.
