Clam chowder is especially tasty when it's served with a sprinkle of fresh thyme, bacon crumbles and crispy oyster crackers on top. If you like your chowder on the thick side, add another tablespoon of flour after it is done in the pressure cooker. —<i>Taste of Home</i> Test Kitchen

By far the best clam chowder I have ever had!!  I add an extra can of clams to mine and I use 3-4 tablespoons of flour to make it thicker. I never write reviews, but this recipe deserves recognition.

I regularly make a lot of different hearty soups with my pressure cooker and my wife loves all of them, but up till now her favourite has been my maple butternut squash soup. I prefer Manhattan style clam chowder but my wife hates it and really loves New England style, so when we returned a couple of weeks ago from a visit to our summer getaway in Newfoundland with some gifted jars of local Newfie clams I told her I'd find a good recipe. I knew it was good when I tasted it, but my wife went out of her mind. She says that not only is it her new favourite of all the soups I make, but it's the best clam chowder she's ever had.

I always make a new recipe unchanged the first time and then alter it to preference later if I feel it needs it, but this is pretty much perfect as-is. The only thing I might do in future in eliminate the carrots. They weren't bad, but for me they didn't add anything and I don't think of carrots as a great accompaniment for seafood.

As I said, I used home-jarred local-caught clams instead of canned ones, but other than that I followed this recipe exactly.

This is really really yummy. I even managed to make it dairy and gluten free for my allergy issue family. It is still delicious even with coconut cream and gluten free flour.

One of the best things I’ve ever tasted!!! Made it tons of times now. I add a lot of garlic, just a personal preference, and we use fresh thyme instead of dried. Amazing! Also we top it with bacon and small croutons

I made this in my instant pot and it turned out so good.  This could be made in a regular pot, I do not find there to be any more work or dishes using my instant pot and I had time to wash my prep dishes and make biscuits while it was pressure cooking.  I did not make any changes aside from adding hot sauce to my own bowl.  The most work here is chopping the vegetables, once that's done everything comes together so quickly.  Thanks for the recipe I will make this again.

I loved this recipe and so did my husband. He is pretty picky, so that makes it a great recipe for me.  He doesn't like the texture of cooked onion and I didn't have garlic on hand.  I added a couple tablespoons of granulated onion and 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic instead. I would add just a bit more cream (or milk) next time as it was thicker than I like. I will make it again.

The soup was really good! I made a few changes but not many.  Yummy.
