We really enjoyed this. Some changes I made were to puree half of the soup. It gave it a creamy base but you still had great chunks of potato. I also used skim or 1% milk. I garnished with the bacon (it stays crisp that way) and chopped green onions. My husband liked it so much and even said it didnt need the clams! Thanks!!

Delicious and warming! I used fresh thyme and chicken stock. I can't wait to try this really simple formula using fresh clams and the broth resulting from Bergy's Garlic Steamed Clams. Thanks, Andi!

Oh my dear Andi, I just knew this would be a winner. This is the first time I've ever made homemade clam chowder, one of my favortites and this was super easy and tasted rich and wonderful even though it wasn't loaded with fat and calories. Okay my "changes" I used about 2t of olive oil instead of bacon drippings. Then added 1/4 c bacon bits to the potatoes and onions. I used 1 c. clam juice and 1 c water. and then I used 1 12 oz can fat-free evaporated milk instead of whole milk. Very good and warmed us up on a cold rainy afternoon.

This is delicious! I had a large, thicker than usual piece of prosciutto left over and fried it instead of bacon. I used clam juice and a can of whole baby clams. This was really quick and easy! Made for Fall 2007 PAC.

This is soooo quick and soooo delicious! The clams I bought were "minced", but still tasty. Love the addition of the thyme, Andi. Wonderful lunch on Feb. 4th-National Soup Day! Made for Holiday tag and for Nat'l Clam Chowder Day, too.

I am a huge Wegmans fan, and I love all of the recipes that I normally find there. Ths one was no diffrent. I used some low fat turkey bacon and used skim milk to lighten it up a tad. Not using whole milk made this a bit thin so I added some cornstarch water slurry mixture to the finished soup to thicken it up a tad. Great comforting recipe for this rainy day!

Even though it's not a thick chowder, it's got tons of flavor, (and it's chock full of potatoes) and it is delicious. I used 2 slices of bacon. I'm not a huge fan of bacon, but I have to say it lends lots of good flavor to this chowder. I used the clam juice and 1 10 oz can of baby clams. For the milk, I used fat free half and half. I'll make this again. Thanx for posting it.

This was lovely, reminds me of how my mother made clam chowder. I don't think she used thyme, but it was a very nice addition. It's amazing the flavour a small amount of bacon can add to a recipe! An excellent use for tinned clams and very easy to make. Thanks for posting.
