For a lighter version, replace the cream with an equal amount of milk. You can also omit the flour entirely, or just use less, for a thinner chowder..

Omit wine, reduce celery by half, and don't even bring a green pepper anywhere near NE clam chowder. I like a mix of baking and boiling potatoes. The former add some thickening and the latter stand up well in pieces.
