I found this recipe years and years ago. When I read it I thought how good could this be with canned soups. I was going to a pot luck and thought I would try it. This was the best Clam Chowder we have ever had from any restaurant . When ever I take this any where I bring the crock pot home empty. So easy - - enjoy

Put the following ingredients in a crock pot
and stir.
1 can cream of celery soup
2 cans of cream of clam chowder soup
2 cans of cream of potato soup
1 quart of half and half
1 pint of whipping cream
1 can of clams with juice
2 cans of clams drained

Cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours

I use Campbell’s soups

SOunds good! I HATE when you get clam chowder in a restaurant and it is thick, like gravy. Real New England clam chowder should not be any thicker than medium cream, IMHO. NO FLOUR to thicken it.

I can't speak for those barbarians in NY who put tomatoes in it!!

this is a recipe I've used since my days in St. Louis. It is known as Noah's Arc. clam chowder. Anyone on the board remember this restaurant and how good the food was. We were there in the late 70"s

Just call me a barbarian!!! Well, I am from NJ (Southern part so a Philly fan not a NY fan) originally but now in NC and I much prefer the Manhattan clam chowder. I am not a lover of cream soups. I would eat the New England version if I was in NE and would be OK with that but if I have a choice .... give me tomatoes in soup any day.

KLO beat me to it, but guess what? Those barbarians are NOT making real New England Clam Chowder - they are making real Manhattan Clam Chowder - a horse of another color!

Different strokes............

I was there a few times during the 70's on dates and always ordered their clam chowder. I was sad when it closed. I have the same recipe.

Count me in on this too. I'm a NH Native and real clam chowder does not hold a spoon upright in the bowl, NO FLOUR OR TOMATOES. Yuck, Yuck, Yuck :!: :!: :!:
