This chowder is a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it's a good recipe.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never seem to get the consistency right. The chowder always ends up being too thin.

This chowder is the perfect comfort food for a cold night. It's creamy, rich, and full of flavor. I especially love the addition of clams, which gives it a nice briny flavor.
