Healthy Clam Chowder image

"I make this chowder for our annual Souper Bowl luncheon at work, and everybody loves it!" comments Chris Sheetz of Olmsted Falls, Ohio. "I've slimmed it down by using both reduced-fat margarine and mushroom soup." Tender chunks of red potatoes add color and texture to her thick chowder.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from this recipe. It still turned out great.

This clam chowder is a great way to use up leftover clams. I always have a few clams left over after making steamed clams, and this is a great way to use them up.

This clam chowder is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add some more milk next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this clam chowder without the clams. It was still very good.

This clam chowder is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I added a cup of corn to my clam chowder and it was delicious. I also used half-and-half instead of milk, which made it even creamier.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my clam chowder turned out watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
