    I love a good clam chowder and this one was great. We had recently visited Cape Cod and had the chowder at a well known restaurant and this one was as good or better. I doubled the recipe because we were having company and since I don't like the chowder to be too thick, I kept the flour amount to 1/2 cup. Worked perfectly. To save some time, I also used small red potatoes which I diced with the skin on. Also worked out great.

    I made this with freshly-dug razor clams. Very good, but not "the best I've ever had" as some reviewers say. Emeril should fire whoever writes his recipes because they're always full of mistakes. One pound of leeks does not equal a cup. It's more like 3 cups unless you just use the white parts which is a waste of good leeks and isn't specified in the recipe anyway. End rant :

    This is the 2nd time I have made this recipe and I used fresh cherrystone clams since it was only 1.49/lb. I got 8 lbs of clams and had plenty of clam juice for the soup. It definitely tasted so much better than canned clams & juice. I am not a big fan of clam chowder because all the versions i have tasted were from different restaurants and they did not taste no where near this pot of soup. As long as I can find low priced fresh clam I will continue to put this recipe into use.

    My honey said this was the best clam chowder he has ever had- and he's had it all over the world. I couldn't get enough either! So good! The only modification I made was to only use the bacon fat and take out the actual meat- neither of us are big fans.

    This is better than any clam chowder I've ever had at any restaurant. I've done it with fat free half & half and it's still excellent, husband actually prefers it that way, as he feels less guilty about emptying the pot! It's a fair amount of prep & chopping but it is worth every minute, absolutely delicious!

    I made this for my family during a reunion. My family from Massachusetts were visiting us in Wyoming, so I wanted to make them something special, that made them feel at home. I substituted the clams for crab meat and doubled the recipe. The pot was clean, everyone LOVED it!

    I have made clam chowder once before at the restaurant I worked in and this clam chowder is amazing! Better than the rest. I cooked it at home and everyone raved about it. This is definitely a keeper!

    My 9 year old grandaughter Alayna is a huge Food Network fan and helped me make this soup. The term AWESOME came from her when she tasted it. We made it exactly to the recipe and everyone that tasted it thought it was the best clam chowder they ever ate. We used heavily smoked slab bacon which gave it a unique flavor.This recipe will be used often in our house.

    The only suggestion I would make is to cut the amount of leeks to maybe 1/2 cup. There are a lot of veggies in this recipe so some may think it's too much (like my mom. This was such a hit that some family members missed out. I used Pismo clams caught by my cousin's family right before New Year's. This will now be a new family tradition! VERY VERY EASY!
