Quick Clam Chowder; Super easy and fool-proof

I have to begin this post with a confession.

I usually only post recipes here that I have tried and I like. They also need to be either really easy or really worth it if not-so-easy.

I really can’t stand clam chowder. There. confession made. I’m publishing a recipe I do not like.

But my husband likes it and it’s easy, so that’s good enough for me. If you like seafood and you like chowders you’ll want to give this a try. It’s really easy.

To accomodate my tastebuds, whenever I make chowder, I make this for hubby and corn chowder (equally easy, actually easier) for the kids and me. Everyone gets comforting chowder and everyone’s happy.

The recipe below calls for carrots but there are obviously none in this bowl. That just goes to show how flexible this recipe is. No carrots? No problem. You might not want to attempt it without the clams though! 😉
