Add Step-by-Step Photos	Slj6lori / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago My daughter just loves New England clam chowder. I tried to duplicate one that she just loves at a small beach side restaurant in Cape May, NJ. She gives her thumbs up on this creamy and hearty soup even though this has healthier options in it.
