  • “this was horrible!! ended up throwing away the whole pot!!”

  • “This soup tasted GREAT and couldn’t be easier.Although, I cheated big time because I came home late from my daughters game and didn’t have alot of time to get dinner on the table.I used Hormel crumbled bacon, 1 can of diced potatoes, no carrots and celery salt.Next time I will use all the correct ingredients to see how different it is.Thanks Tish for a great recipe!”

  • “Tish, this is terrific!It’s so thick and flavorful.I added the water and clam juice in the beginning to cook/soften the vegetables in.I used 3 tbsp of cornstarch in place of the flour, simply because it dissolves better in cold milk. Thanx for a great new clam chowder recipe!”
