It has no clam flavor. The recipe was followed exactly as written but I did double the amount of clams.

This is wonderful soup! Quick, easy & very tastey. I actually used 3 cans of minced clams with the juice from only 2 as dircted as we like a more chunky chowder. I also added about 1/2 cup of finely chopped celery & a tablespoon of minced garlic when cooking the carrots & potatoes.

I LOVE this! Added about 1/2 cup chopped celery, a tablespoon of garlic/herb mix that's salt free. Left the salt in the recipe out, and added 2/3 cup of fresh ciams we dug today instead of the canned clams. I'll take it with me to work tomorrow! Thanks for another really wonderful recipe!

I used this recipe as my main source for ingredients and just changed a few things. I used regular milk & some cream instead of evaporated milk, added celery, garlic (I think), and used 1lb of baby clams frozen in their own juice (not canned/tinny tasting). I also sautee'd the clams in butter to add to the flavor. I will definitely be using this recipe again, it was delicious! The only thing my husband wished is that there had of been more! :) I LOVE clam chowder and this one was yummy and best of all~homemade! :)

Love this recipe! It's really easy, except for the chopping the veggies. Besides that, a family favorite. There's only 2 of us, so the recipe is pretty large, but great for making extra to freeze for later! Love it!
