While I was recently in several USA States I had fresh clam chowder soup, whether it was in a take away cup or at a restaurant. Has anyone made it here with clams or similar??

We had it in Ireland and it was yum but haven't made it here. Did you get to taste a 'Crawfish cookout'? Like yabbies boiled up in a pot of hot chilli water. Also very nice if you can cope with the chilli.

No I didn't see those but I would have had a go, I just don't eat the chilli don't mind the flavour...

When we were in USA,Clam Chowder soup was a big hit with us it was really thick and almost had to chew it not drink it kind of thing like normal soup. Never had it back here and never noticed it on any restaurant menu either.
Not difficult to make if you can find fresh or tinned clams however good quality tinned clams and clam juice can be hard to find in oz (usafoods in Melbourne has a good range). Can make a reasonable version with a basic chowder recipe using fish stock for the base. I mostly use smoked fish (kippers, cod) but is also good with fresh cooked pipis, mussels, vongole, or even crab if you have them.

Must try and make it .
That is exactly what it was like and was just a meal in itself and very tasty.......had it in several states obviously a staple there....

I've made a lovely chicken and corn chowder. Chowder is basically a very thick soup. Usually has potato in it to thicken it up. In Ireland we found it was the cheapest way of eating.
If it was the creamy style chowder you liked then also check out recipes for the scottish favourite Cullen Skink, which is based upon smoked haddock. It is less complicated to make but still very tasty.
