Homemade Clam Chowder


Diamond Post Medal for All Time! 1,246 Posts

Homemade Clam Chowder in bread bowlI spent my birthday up in the San Francisco Bay area. Walking around town looking for a place to eat, I noticed the price of clam chowder had skyrocketed like mad. I skipped out on having some, but since the craving stuck, my mother and I decided to make it from scratch once I got home. It's not hard to do, and costs a fraction of the price marked at the restaurants. Bread bowl optional, but highly recommended!

Thank you Suz! It was super yummy and comforting. My whole family got to enjoy it for the price of one restaurant serving.. (plus some left over)! x

They do indeed rock! It's always hard to say no to the bread bowl when it's the option against a plain old bowl you can't bite into :D Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
