I know that the best clam chowder doesn't come from a can but when out to sea one eats what they can. I just had a bowl of the Cambells Chunky New England Clam Chowder and it was ok, not enough clam by far. Overall a 6 out of 10. Are there any better? It's my favorite kind of soup and I'm about to head back out sea for a bit, it makes for a hell of a dinner, add a few goldfish and bamn, it's like I'm back up north.

Inputs?

I'm not crazy about it myself since the last can that I got I always felt like I was chewing sand.. *bleh* So I try to stick to the stuff in the store now.. But I think Chunky Man makes some as well?

Snow's is the best! But u gotta let it simmer to thicken up!

Seems to me the cheaper it is the better. At least in my experience.

Bleah, cheap=crap in my experience.

My in-laws were visiting a few weeks ago and they "cooked" dinner, it was a soup and sandwhich night, they picked up the cheapest chowder on the shelf, something like .37 cents. I heated it up and tried to eat it. My mother in law asked me if it was any good and I told her that I was really just waiting for them to leave the table so I could pour it out. It looked like dog food when I opened it. I went to pour it out and it was like dog food/refried beans, it all came out as one part, not a splash of liquid to be found.

I've had better luck with the "it must be good if it's expensive rule" when it comes to this.

there is no such thing as "best clam chowder in a can"
