This was the best clam chowder I have ever made. I use a good quality bacon (www.nueskes.com) and had a wonderful smoky flavor.
I just made it. Wowers! I made a few mistakes and I added to the seasoning. I tasted it toward the end and it lacked a touch of "kick". The flavors were perfection other than that. I smelled all the stuff I had that was hot and decided on a couple of shakes of Mexican chili powder of all things. It still needed more so I have it a touch of cayenne. To me cayenne doesn't have much flavor of it't own, it's just hot. I hope I didn't commit a culinary atrocity with my additions.
Glad you got it to your liking! And like GG said, your kitchen, your rules!I just made it. Wowers!
