New England Clam Chowder

Spread the love

A wonderful, creamy soup with a rich clam flavor. Soup is just one of those things that is soul satisfying. A one pot meal that comes together in very little time. This is one of my go to soups when the cold weather starts. The bread bowl is completely optional but it does make the meal a little more special.
