Healthy Clam Chowder image

"I make this chowder for our annual Souper Bowl luncheon at work, and everybody loves it!" comments Chris Sheetz of Olmsted Falls, Ohio. "I've slimmed it down by using both reduced-fat margarine and mushroom soup." Tender chunks of red potatoes add color and texture to her thick chowder.

I'm not sure where I would find fresh clams. I guess I'll have to check the seafood counter at my local grocery store.
