NOTES

This recipe was originally my Grandpa Bob's clam chowder that my mom adapted because her kids hated clams. Sometimes I add broccoli to this to make broccoli cheese soup. I have used skim milk, whole milk and 1% milk in place of half and half, depends on what I have on hand. It is easily adaptable.
