Brenda says
Can you freeze this soup. Sometimes cream soups don’t freeze well
Heidi says
Hi Brenda ~ due to the milk and creams, this soup is not really freezer friendly.
Ken says
By far, the best and easiest clam chowder recipe I have come across!! I have made this several times exactly as written and it is amazing. So over the weekend I wanted to make it again. Unfortunately, no Cream of Potato soup to be found!! Chalk another one up to supply chain issues in 2022!!. So I ended up substituting one can of Cream of Onion and one can of Cream of Bacon (not realizing before this point that either was a “thing”!). I am still not sure how much it changed the overall flavor profile but it was still delicious! To make up for no potato soup, I did parboil a package of dry potato gnocchi and added that when ready to serve. I think I will do that from now on regardless of what “cream of” soup I am lucky enough to find at the grocery store, Thank you for sharing such a great recipe!!
Heidi says
I’m so glad you like it, Ken… and I love your idea of adding in a little gnocchi! 🙂
Valerie Porter says
How many people does it serve?
Heidi says
Hi Valerie,
It depends on the serving size, but on average I would say it serves around 6.
Angela says
Can this recipe be made on the stove?
Heidi says
Hi Angela,
I am sure this could be prepared on the stove top. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out.

Angela says
It turns out that you have to cook it on very low heat , otherwise it tends to burn. It turned out ok, but I feel it would be much better in the crockpot. Thanks for answering my question.
