I never thought I'd be able to duplicate the excellent taste of hearty clam chowders found in many restaurants, but this recipe proved me wrong. The dill makes it extra-special.

The chowder was a little bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This chowder is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not a fan of cheese, so I made this chowder without it. It was still good, but I think it would have been better with cheese. I'll definitely try it again with cheese next time.

This chowder is a bit pricey to make, but it's worth it. The ingredients are all high-quality, and the flavor is amazing. I would definitely make this again for a special occasion.

I made this chowder in my slow cooker, and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work. It's a great way to make a delicious meal without a lot of effort.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this chowder without the clams. It was still delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery. It was a hearty and satisfying meal.

I added some chopped bacon to this chowder, and it was amazing! The bacon added a smoky flavor that really took the chowder to the next level. I highly recommend trying this variation.

I made this chowder exactly as the recipe said, and it turned out perfectly. The broth was creamy and flavorful, and the clams were tender and juicy. I served it with some crusty bread, and it was a perfect meal.

This chowder is easy to make and absolutely delicious. I love that I can use canned clams, which makes it a quick and easy weeknight meal. Thanks for the recipe!

I'm not usually a fan of clam chowder, but this recipe changed my mind. The cheese and potatoes make it so creamy and rich, and the clams add a nice briny flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

I made this chowder for a party last weekend, and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it, and I even got a few requests for the recipe. Thanks for sharing!

This clam chowder is the best I've ever had! The cheese and clams are a perfect combination, and the broth is so flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
