So, I could make potato leek soup, toss in a can or two of baby clams, and
I'd have chowder?

Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.

I've never attempted my own clam chowder. Don't know why it makes me so
nervous. The best I've had has been Campbell's chunky non-concentrated
soup. I know I can do better. I've just been afraid to try.

Please say yes, oh Prince of Food.
