Delicious Potato Chowder with a Twist: Easy Clam Variation

[Rosechef]

I have made a clam chowder variation to this recipe by omitting the cheddar cheese and adding two cans of clams. Drain off the broth and add to the milk, then when it's finished, add the clams and microwave for one more minute.

There are only four of us in my family and there are usually no leftovers.

Quick clarification, please...

Do you add the clam juice to the milk, or the clams? I'm passing this on, and just wanted to make sure. Sounds SO good...My family will hate it, but I'll make it for some girlfriends for lunch. YUMMO!

Thanks...

I add it to the milk (the larger amount, not the smaller amount that you cook the potatoes with).
