I have been searching for “THE” clam chowder recipe for years. I’ve tried recipes I would call “very good”, but haven’t yet found “the ONE”. In reading this recipe and all the comments — plus knowing that every other recipe I’ve tried from Amy + Jacky has been a great success — I am very optimistic about this recipe and can’t wait to make it! (The addition of fish sauce sounds brilliant.)

But I do have one question: could you please tell me why the canned clams are to be drained of their juice, but then purchased clam juice is to be added to the recipe? Is it because the juice in the cans is not always the right amount — or a consistent amount — for the recipe? I read all the comments and didn’t find an answer to this specifiic question, so any claficiation you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I made this recipe twice following the directions and it was fabulous both times. Nothing like a good bowl of clam chowder on a cold winter day. Thank you Amy and Jacky

New England Clam Chowder. Added an extra can of clam and it is delicious. Kid #3 asks me to save some for her for tomorrow. She may or may not get some 😆 Also made pizza for those who didn’t want chowder.

So good!! This recipe is a keeper. I didn’t have any clam juice, so I used all chicken stock, and I used corn starch to thicken instead of flour.

just made this and it turned out great. We had a 10-oz. can of whole baby clams and used that plus the liquid of course. They were tiny whole clams and there were not nearly enough for this soup, so getting a couple of cans of the chopped clams next tim and actually buying a small bottle of clam juice for the next batch too.

Did without the dried thyme because we didn’t have it (ordered it for next time) and only put in one bay leave because my wife saw me reaching for them and said, “do you have to put bay leaves in it? I really don’t care for them?” Told her I was only putting in one, so that’s all it did. Also didn’t put the carrots into it because I don’t like carrots in my New England Clam Chowder and I certainly don’t want to see little pieces of orange floating around in it.

Found out real quick that I shouldn’t mix the flour and cream with a whisk. It got real thick trying to turn into whipped cream. Will just use a spoon next time to mix the flour into the cream. Still worked fine but it really started getting stiff.

End result was great though. Wife said, “This is the best clam chowder I’ve ever had!” And that was good enough for me.

Made instant pot clam chowder for dinner after a day of yard work and winter prep. Was yummy and a hit. My dad even stopped by for a bowl or two haha.
