A pantry stocked with canned staples like canned clams makes creative and delicious homemade meals like this chowder possible any night of the week.
This almost the very same way my mom used to make us Clam Chowder. i just omitted the flour as she didn't use any. i cook the potatoes in the liquid until slightly over cooked then stir in the clams and keep stirring gently which helps break down the potatoes a bit more which ends up thickening the soup! YUM!
Read MoreWas okay except that canned potatoes have a distinctive flavor which permeated the dish and I didn't care for it. This chowder is brothier than some, just saying. I did like the smooth texture of the broth. I used canned chicken broth instead of clam juice but made no other changes. If I make again I'd cube a big russet and cook 10 minutes longer leaving out the canned potatoes. If I don't have time, ironically, I'd just heat up a can of clam chowder. Thanks for the recipe.

I tweeked it a bit ...I used half and half instead of milk much better than milk...
Perfect and very easy, was ready in 20 min! It is brothier, than usual. As suggested here, I used real potatoes (red, or yellow), heavy whipping cream instead of milk, and 2 tbs flour. I never made clam chowder before, and following other suggestions, I used 1 green onion, and added some carrots; mostly for the color and texture. Recipe deserves a 5 regardless the changes, because those are my personal opinion :)
This chowder for two was just the perfect amount for two people. We had dinner one night and a cup of chowder the next day for lunch. Very easy to make and very delicious!

I will probably use 2 cans of clams next time. There WILL be a next time. All canned clam chowder vendors just lost my business. Be prepared to thicken it up with a tbsp of corn starch.
Oh my, this is so good! The only ingredient I added was a tablespoon of cornstarch with the milk. Very creamy! My hubby loved it!
I microwaved two medium potatoes instead of using a can. It made two very generous portions and tasted fantastic.
I had taken out shrimps and scallops for dinner and my mom wanted soup tonight, I figured seafood chowder it is! so I only had to run out for clams and half and half . I used seafood stock since I had some instead to clam juice and I added diced carrots. I used both half and half and milk to make it richer and seasoned with old bay. Mommy approved!
