Wow! I followed the recipe as close as I could, but I have a small crockpot, so I had to transfer half to a pot on the stove as well. I also couldn't fit an onion in, but I had HUGE onions,so, it didn't make too much difference. I also probably added a little more broth and cream, due to portion sizes I bought not adding up exactly to the recipe. It made it a little more watery than I liked, but I'm sure next time I make it (soon!) I'll be able to ccounteract that. It tastes great and it made so much. I like crumbling saltines into all my soups so that helped any wateriness. I can't get enough of this. Can't wait to try it again, now that I know what to expect.

I scaled this recipe down to half so I would't have tons of leftovers. I also cut the bacon down to less than 1/4 lb with no probolems, it still gave plenty of flavor. Due to negligence on my half, the onions became carmelized in the bacon grease (oops) but it added a really nice flavor and color to the soup. I also added 6 oz of heavy cream instead of the recommended amount, just because I like it thicker and I had cut down on the bacon. But this was a really great recipe and would definitely be worth your time! And it WAS NOT difficult to prepare, took only a few minutes to get it going, with chopping and what not, but this was ready in lessa than 1/2 hour ( I prepared on the stoveop and not in the crockpot). I cut the veggies up really small (think smaller than minced ) so dd wouldn't notice them and it worked.I also cooked the potatoes in the broth before adding the miklk (I hate that skin that gets on cooked milk. And I didn't use clams, because she saw me take them out of the cupoboard and immediately began protesting. But I think it would have been even better with clams. I give this 6 stars! Thanks for sharing!!
