  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs can also add a lot of flavor to clam chowder. Common herbs used in clam chowder include thyme, rosemary, and parsley. You can also add other herbs, such as dill, oregano, or basil.
  • Season to taste. Clam chowder should be seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
