This clam chowder is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, creamy, and filling, and it always hits the spot on a cold night. I love adding a little extra Old Bay seasoning to mine for a bit of a kick.

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