Clam Chowder for a Crowd image

Needed a BIG pot of soup for a group function and couldn't choose from the many Clam Chowder variations I saw, so I made my own. The pot was empty at the end of the night. Hope you like it!

I used frozen clams in this clam chowder and it turned out just as good as using fresh clams.
