this was horrible!! ended up throwing away the whole pot!! -
This soup tasted GREAT and couldn't be easier. Although, I cheated big time because I came home late from my daughters game and didn't have alot of time to get dinner on the table. I used Hormel crumbled bacon, 1 can of diced potatoes, no carrots and celery salt. Next time I will use all the correct ingredients to see how different it is. Thanks Tish for a great recipe! -
Tish, this is terrific! It's so thick and flavorful. I added the water and clam juice in the beginning to cook/soften the vegetables in. I used 3 tbsp of cornstarch in place of the flour, simply because it dissolves better in cold milk. Thanx for a great new clam chowder recipe! -
This sounds wonderful, but I probably won't make it as it has far too many carbs. for my diet-controlled Type 2 Diabetes. nc nanny

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
