I'm not a big fan of clams, but I really enjoyed this chowder. The flavors are perfectly balanced and it's not too heavy.

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

This chowder is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use canned clams, which makes it a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the clams and added extra vegetables. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touch. I usually add a bit of Old Bay seasoning and some chopped celery.

I followed the recipe exactly and my chowder turned out watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.
