It's definitely a matter of personal taste, though. If I had to narrow it down from what's listed in the suggested ingredients, I'd say the clams and crabmeat are key. A chowder with just those would probably still be awesome.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554556363610139514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656681302169723170.post-60684967188009604032009-12-11T01:09:02.398-08:002009-12-11T01:09:02.398-08:00How do you manage to add mashed potatoes to the br...How do you manage to add mashed potatoes to the broth and yet keep it suitable for dipping the bread?
