1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions

1
Add bacon to sauce pan and cook on medium low heat until crispy.

Add onion and cook until translucent.

I hate to say i was a little disappointed. The soup was yummy. But it didnt taste like clam chowder. It had almost no clam taste at all. It tasted more like potato soup. I was good just not at all what i wanted. Sorry but thank you any ways.

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!

Let me start by saying that this Clam Chowder was a hit for Christmas Eve dinner! It was my choice that I carry on the Family tradition of having Clam Chowder (and cheese bread) for Christmas Eve dinner this year. You see... the Matriarch of our family passed away this year at the age of 96 years old. She has prepared Clam Chowder every year at Christmas for a long,long time. So with the Holiday's fast approaching I set out to find the perfect recipe for chowder and found it with this one.It was very thick & creamy and unbelievably easy to prepare. It took all of one hour for me to put together. I did not veer from the recipe provided and used Yukon Gold potatoes instead of russets. Of three pots of soup there this one was devoured quite fast ! I only got one bowl out of it ! Guess that says it all ......Oh yeah.....I upped the amount to 10 servings and it filled up a healthy sized 8 quart pot. Thanks for helping keep our holiday tradition going Teen. The Gregory Family
