Creamy clam chowder is juts the perfect dish on a cold dreary day. Pair it with a crusty loaf of sourdough bread and you have the perfect meal.

This chowder brings back memories of times spent clamming with my family. We would spend hours in at the shore; my dad fishing and my mom clamming with whoever wanted to help her. This hearty chowder is still a favorite with my father.

Have you tried Yukon Gold potatoes? These waxy potatoes have a lower glyecemic index and will not elevate your blood sugar like the russet potatoes do. I love to plant Yukon Gold and Huckleberry Gold potatoes in my garden.

Our family prefers a thickened chowder but some people do not. If you do not, omit the oat flour.

I love this chopper to chop veggies for chowders and soups. This is a Princes House Chopper but you can buy a very similar one on Amazon called a Vidalia Onion Chopper.
