This was awesome. I have made this at least 20 times for my family of 7. The ingredients are not hard to find and portion size is great. I agree. Make it, eat it, then review.

I made this last night, first off I could not find "clam powder" in ANY store around here. Next let's move on to a 55 ounce can of clams.. more like five 10 ounce clams. Now we have it calling for a QUART of onion... a tad much... they don't tell you how to make the clam base and this recipe makes WAY more than 6 to 8 servings and quite frankly I wasn't impressed in the least bit. Next time I'll just buy Campbell's.. worst clam chowder I ever had
