This New England Style Clam Chowder Recipe caught my eye and I decided to give it a try. I have made the Manhattan style Clam Chowder before, but for some reason never attempted this one. I thought; out of the can was great, so I figured the homemade should be even better. I was right! This New England Style Clam Chowder Recipe was delicious; my family loved it. This recipe is simple with not a lot of cooking or prep time and could very easily be used on Friday for Lent by eliminating the pieces of bacon, and just using the bacon for flavor. This recipe is supposed to serve 4, but if you have some big eaters, I would double it. Enjoy
