New England Clam Chowder Soup in a Bread Bowl image

I loved this chowder. It was savory, creamy and very hearty. This recipe is close to one of my favorite chowders I used to enjoy in Boston. The perfect dish to warm you up on a cold winter's day. We used 8 oz bottles of clam juice and a 14 oz can of broth when making this chowder.
