I got rave reviews from the group we had over for lunch. "The best clam chowder I've ever tasted" And it was easy to make. This will be one of our favorites from now on!

The only change I made to the recipe was to double the cayenne. I like a little kick, what can I say. It was really good and the leftovers I had the next day were even better. A super easy to make recipe. Thanks so much for posting it!

Sue L, my dear, this is just divine. WOW!! It disappeared at my house too. Creamy and buttery. I liked the use of cayenne for some spiciness. Comfort food extraordinaire. Thanks. I look forward to making this all winter long ;D
