Instant Pot Clam Chowder image

Clam chowder is especially tasty when it's served with a sprinkle of fresh thyme, bacon crumbles and crispy oyster crackers on top. If you like your chowder on the thick side, add another tablespoon of flour after it is done in the pressure cooker. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

This clam chowder is okay. It's not the best I've ever had, but it's not bad either. I would probably add more spices next time.

This clam chowder is a great way to use up leftover clams. I had some leftover clams from a seafood boil, and I used them to make this chowder. The chowder was delicious and it was a great way to use up my leftovers.

I didn't like this clam chowder at all. The flavor was very fishy, and the clams were tough and chewy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This clam chowder is pretty good. It's easy to make, and the flavor is decent. However, I found it to be a little too thick for my taste. I would probably add more water or milk next time.
