This is the recipe Pamela Motl uses, and she is a great cook! She got it from Anne Burrell, the Food Network star! I also had several other Clam Chowder recipes and took some ideas from those recipes and tweeked the original recipe to make it my own.
FYI the original recipe called for fresh thyme to be bundled and simmered in chowder. We do not care for thyme so I used marjoram, basil and lots of parsley! If you like thyme, you could use instead of marjoram.
