This is great clam chowder, I've finally found a good recipe for this soup! My husband ate 3 bowls of it and he and I both liked the abundance of clams over potatoes. I used 4 small cans of chopped sea clams, along with their juice, and found that I only needed to add 2 bottles of the clam juice as we like our chowder on the thicker side. Thanks for posting this Barb, this is now our clam chowder recipe!
