This is suppose to taste like Red Lobster’s Clam Chowder.  Again, I haven’t made this.  I love their clam chowder and I like to have oyster crackers on top.  The chowder picture  doesn’t look like it is thick enough for me, but, it could just be a bad picture.  I would thicken it up, if it looked like it needed it.  I would also probably put some crumbled cooked bacon on top with some shredded cheddar cheese.
