When we lived in Michigan, this was a perfect comforting soup when blustery winds blew into town. The steaming bowls of soup warmed up icy toes just right!-Christine Schenher, San Clemente, California

This is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the clams are perfectly cooked. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes just as good.

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding more salt and pepper next time.

I made this for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the bacon, which gave it a nice smoky flavor.
