dee's pantry clam chowder
(2 ratings)
I have made alot of clam chowder through the years. Some homemade and some by adding things to canned soup. The best canned clams in my opinion are Bumble Bee whole clams in the tall can (about 6oz) I have also tried every brand of canned clam chowder. I havd found Campbell's Chunky New England Style Clam Chowder to have the best flavor and texture. This is the way I love my clam chowder...with bacon, celery, potato, and extra clams. Plus a few other things to make it delicious. What starts as a good can of soup turns into a delicious bowl of soup when you get done with it. Enjoy!
