I looked through the recipes for clam chowder and liked this the best. It was great. I added some bacon at the beginning of the chowder, but other than that I followed the recipe. I found the 1/8 tsp of liquid smoke to be perfect! I will definitely use this recipe again. Thank you.

My husband and I thought this was excellent clam chowder. Very rich and creamy with the delicate flavor of the clams. A great blend of spices and nice smoked flavor that all went well together. Thanks for sharing this.

We really like clam chowder and thought it would be interesting to try this smoky version. Very nice indeed. The chowder base was extremely rich and creamy with plenty of clams. The little bit of liquid smoke gave a smoked flavor but it didn't overpower. Thanks Nurse Di for another great recipe.
