I should have read the above comment before making this...it was just awful :( It had no taste, except that of the whole wheat flour. In an effort to save the chowder, I ran down to the local market and grabbed another 10 oz can of clams, some fat free half & half and seafood flavor boost. But unfortunately it just became a more expensive meal for my trash can. I can almost always doctor a dish up to make it more palatable, however this was one of the worst recipes I have ever tried :(
