Adams favorite soup is hands down Clam Chowder, if we go to a restaurant and he has already decided on a meal, if they come and say the soup of the day is Clam Chowder he HAS to get a bowl. I don’t like it at all, and the smell alone drives me nuts. I never planned to make him homemade clam chowder… But then I saw this recipe and saw it was cooked in a crock-pot. I thought this was great as I could make it for a night when I was going out with a friend and he could come home to fresh soup.
This week was the week, he said it was really good and tasted great. I guess it was a hit.

I’m super picky about my clam chowder – which is why I’m afraid to make it at home.
I love clam chowder and I will be trying this recipe. I’m not sure how much cornstarch to use, but I’ll figure it out.
I’m so glad he liked it!
