For a richer flavor, use homemade clam broth instead of bottled clam juice. If you prefer a thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes with a fork before serving. This chowder tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes (if using) to your preference for heat. Serve with crusty bread or oyster crackers for a complete meal.

Oct 4, 2024I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes substitute the baby carrots with diced bell peppers for a different flavor.
