Just made it again and I absoultly love it!

Thank You to Gina from skinnytaste.com for the recipe,and many other great recipes that I have tried.

I have only changed 1 thing and that is beceause we all love super chunky soup is I didnt blend the soup and added a little cornstarch to thicken the soup. it is easy to make, inexpensive and super delicious.

    I love clam chowder, never had it with corn. I wonder how this would taste with unsweetened almond milk.

    this clam chowder has a sweetness already and I think it may be way too sweet with the vanilla almond milk. I have made it with and without the corn and it is great either way.
