I think this was great, at least the soup part. I did not make the separate clams. If you only use canned clams, you should use more cans. I used 3 cans of clams. You may have to use less milk if you use more clam juice. I also used pork drippings instead of rendering fat out of pork and I think it probably didn't make much difference.

I was disappointed with this recipe. Too many potatoes, I suggest to cut the potato to 1/2 of amount. I added an additional 12 fresh clams and could hardly taste the clams. All I could taste was potatoes.

I love this recipe, I've made it dozens of times. Instead of blending the mixure I just do a fine dice on the potatoes and onions before I cook them. Also, I use two large cans of clams as fresh ones are sometimes hard to find in the areas I have lived. I add the clam juices and the chopped clams at the end and serve.

The recipe sounds easy enough ,and fresh clams are easy to buy. My question is how many cups does this make. The recipe states "four large servings". What does Alton consider a large serving? One cup, two cups, or three cups?

This clam chowder was OK, but it tasted like onions for me. It was satisfactory.Easy to prepare. Fast cooking....... My mom added too much onions. I really like Good Eats, I watch it almost every day because we got the season pass.

I've made this chowder in a rush countless times and it's always a winner! It's not the stuff I get in Moterey but I make it work. I usually put in half of my potatoes and bend it smooth then add the rest for some texture. And because I always end up using canned clams I add those when I'm ready to serve so they're not chewy!!

This was so easy to make, I am not a fan of clam chowder, it is usually to goopy, but my husband loves it. The only thing I did was add an extra cup of milk, and 2 cans of clams instead of one, and left out the fresh ones. We ate it for 2 days, I have passed it on to many of my friends!!! And, with some fresh bread, YUM.

Okay, you are house bound because your face will freeze off if you go to the store....you can still make this soup!

I used 4 slices of smoked bacon in a small dice instead of the salt pork. Remove the bacon bits and reserve before cooking the onion. Used fat free milk with a bit of half & half. Also added a bit (1/2 t. of herbs de Provence. And of course only had canned clams on hand....I used four 6.5 ounces cans with the juice mixed in when I added the milk. When the potatoes were cooked, I stirred in the clams and the bacon bits. NIcely "clammy", sweet and smokey. Now if only the day would warm up.....

I'm wondering if some of you have given this recipe a bad review due to the 6.5 oz. can of clams called for in the online recipe. On the show, Alton clearly stated that a 14 oz. can of clams was used. Yet another problem with the transition of recipe from show to website. Food Network--is someone out there listening or rather reading?
