I made this wonderful chowder for dinner. I did add a can of corn and a shreaded carrot to it. A little poultry seasoning and some garlic. It was fantastic.

This is a great clam chowder for the clam chowder "purists." It's got great flavor even though there's no celery, carrots, etc that are in some recipes. The best part is that it's chock full of clams.....just how I like it! I halved the recipe, but now wish I would have made the whole thing. I liked subtle taste of the worcestershire sauce. Since the recipe doesn't indicate an amount to use, I chose approx 2 tsps (keep in mind that I halved the recipe). I'm making this again. Thanx for sharing!
