I used clam juice instead of water the second time. It is great either way.

This soup was good, but it tasted more like a loaded baked potato soup than a clam chowder. You could smell the clams, but didn't really taste them at all. I also thought that it should have tasted better for how long it took to make. It filled me and my husband up but it definitely wasn't enough to serve 5 unless it was an appetizer.

I thought this recipe was just ok. I took some of the other poster's ideas and subsituted the water for chicken broth and I also added a second can of clams. I really noticed the "philly" flavor in the final product and I don't think that clam chowder should taste like cream cheese. It wasn't bad though.

This was good comfort food. I did not find the broth to be too thin as some other reviews said. I think it was just right. Also added salt, white pepper and a dash of nutmeg with the clams.

Simple and tasted great, I used bacon bits instead of fresh bacon to save time but I will use fresh the next time it made it a little dry w/o the grease.

For the first time making clam chowder (not from a can) this was fairly easy to make. Will make again.

I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!! I took previous users' advice and used chicken broth and half and half. I added some garlic, italian seasoning, pepper, and I also added some frozen corn. My husband raved about it and since it makes alot, we had it for a few days after...and it just kept getting better! Great with sourdough bread.

I made this recipe some time ago following the directions as written. It was good but the second time I made it it was delicious I used 1/2c milk and 1/2 c half and half a little extra pepper and 2 T fresh tyme leaves.I thickened the chowder with a butter and flour roux it is a great lunch soup with a crisp green salad.
