Over the years I have tweaked this recipe quite a bit. I use pancetta instead of regular bacon, twice the leeks and half the onions. Since I don't always have fresh clams available, I use 2 large cans of whole baby clams along with one can of commercial canned "white clam sauce" for pasta. For the broth, I use 3 bottles of clam juice and the juice from the canned clams and pasta sauce. Instead of cream, just add a pint of half and half. I also add bay scallops and small salad shrimp for more of a seafood chowder feel. A little Old Bay seasoning helps season the broth as well.

Excellent! Just made this for Christmas Eve dinner, paired it with homemade bread for a home run. Even my picky kids loved it - although I left out the leeks as I forgot to pick them up at the store... this is now our traditional meal.

I'm not sharing this recipe with all my friends! I want to keep this one as a secret weapon! I'm very competitive with my cooking! HEHE I did't use leeks because in my small town they are hard to find. This recipe is the best I have ever made in my lifetime! This one is going in my personal favorite recipe book, pronto!

Since this is my 6th year in a row making this recipe for our family's "Feast of 7 Fishes" Christmas Eve Dinner, I thought I'd finally write a review! I love this recipe, everyone in the family loves this recipe. I make a triple batch with a few changes: I omit the carrot and use more potatoes. I usually put just a tiny amount of dried thyme. I use canned sea clams and juice from Sysco. Instead of leaving the bacon in the chowder, I cook it as whole strips to render the fat, then remove it from the pot, chop it into little pieces and serve it one the side for those who want to add it in. Such an amazingly simple, creamy recipe! I always make it a day before I serve it and it just gets better. This year's batch is finished and cooling on the stove! Try this recipe, you won't be disappointed!

This recipe was delicious! I'd never made clam chowder before, and this recipe came together beautifully.

I used canned baby clams and just stirred them in at the very end. Rather than simmering for 2 minutes I just stirred them in, removed the pot from the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes to warm through without cooking. Everyoe loved it - it's definately a recipe I will make again!.

I consider myself an Emeril groupie/follower and no offense, but found this chowder to be....."meh" at best. His other chowder featured on this site is friggin' ridiculous! You will become addicted and crave it fortnight!

This was incredible. I live in the Midwest, so fresh seafood is hard to find. I used canned clams and made no other changes.
