I made this chowder, and made enough to share with the neighbors. The neighbors literally came back with the containers I had brought it over in and asked for more. I did add sour cream, chicken broth, chicken boullion, celery salt, a smidge of paprika, cayenne

It's not a thick chowder, but it's thick with flavor! I skipped the 1 cup of water. The 5 cups of clam juice was plenty. I used 2 cups of heavy cream and made up the other 2 cups with fat free half and half. It was still rich and yummy. Thanx for a tasty clam chowder! Yum!
