Overall a good clam chowder, I would ease up on the wine a little bit and depending on the size of you razor clams ease up on the too. I added the clams the last 7 minutes being afraid of over cooking but not needed. The leeks were a nice touch and the razor clams were surprisingly tender.The razor clams were too easy to clean, I had my 8 year son clean them for me. Would I cook this again? Yes.
