This is the BEST chowder I've ever had. I've had chowder at Legal Seafoods in Boston, which I have to say is good, but mine is BETTER!! If you like thick chowder, you'll love this one!!

I'm a teenager who just graduated from High School and currently living with a friend at an apartment. Our usual breakfast, lunch, and dinner usually includes ramen one way or another...and maybe eggs if we get fancy. I never really cooked before and decided to try this recipe since I LOVE clam chowder. This is extremely easy to make and I followed the instructions down to the letters, except I added more clams since my roommate and I love clams. This turned out PERFECT for me and my roommate also agrees that it's the best clam chowder ever! Thank you for this great recipe! Took me about an hour and a half total!

    My boyfriend agreed that this is the best clam chowder we've ever had...hands down better than Legal Seafoods. I pretty much made it as stated, except I added black pepper at the end. Thanks so much!

    This is the best homemade chowder recipe! The whole family loved it. We are throwing away all of our other recipes. It was thick and turned out perfect with no adjustments to the recipe. I can hardly wait to make it again!

    I made this several times over the summer while we were staying at the beach. (Just now getting around to reviewing it....sorry!) This is so good! We really enjoyed it. The only thing I added was some fresh ground pepper and a little salt and I left out the dill (didn't have any). Very delicious chowder!
