Make sure to REPIN the recipe 🙂
My whole family loves clam chowder – my dad has been wanting to make this recipe for weeks now and I finally gave in — you know when your family really loves a dish you get afraid to make it because your creation might not live up to what they want
I am VERY excited this is the Tenth from Marie the first recipe ( Spinach and Artichoke Dip Recipe ( Recipes from Marie) )
If you have no idea who Marie is – go HERE – I found a vintage recipe box in a local antique store so I am making and posting one her recipes weekly on Tuesday
Today is The BEST Clam Chowder Recipe
I really hope you check back weekly for another recipe from Marie — pretty please comment ( let’s make this like a little community)
You will be able to tell which recipes are hers by the flower on the picture above 🙂
I changed a few things with Marie’s recipe – I used Turkey Bacon instead of Pork Bacon. I also only used 1 bottle of clam juice – Marie’s recipe used 2 bottles. The bottles are a little expensive ( close to 3 dollars) so I decided to add extra water to keep the price down. My family loved the soup and did not think it needed extra clammy juice.
You may notice the bowl I am using – if you watched my Sur La Table video you will notice I am using the same bowl I ALWAYS use — even though I have new bowls they are white and I thought I needed a blue bowl so it would pop
If you make the The BEST Clam Chowder Recipe – Marie Recipe please make sure to comment and let us know what you think 🙂
