There’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of soup. Not just any soup will do, though—this rich and creamy New England-style Clam Chowder happens to be extra special. It’s made with a base of flavorful clam broth and sweet cream, and it's chock full of clams, potatoes, and spices. The best part, though? All you have to do is heat it up and dig right in! One slurp will have you bowled over. Nutrient values are representative of a 1/3 container serving.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Great fresh flavors! Classic New England Clam Chowder, creamy base with plenty of fresh Clams. I added a bit of shredded cheddar, salt & fresh cracked pepper in mine, and it was perfect.

This was one of the best clam chowders I've ever eaten and I am a New England girl at heart. The flavors were delicious and the only complaint I have is that I didn't want to share it!!! Next time I'll get a double order.

Being from a New England state, I'm picky about my chowda. I get this every time it's offered. It's not a heavy cream base and the clams are never chewy. My favorite soup 🍲 😋

Delicious meaty chunks of clam. The potato cubes were a bit undercooked. The soup was creamy and heavy like chowder should be. I warmed it in the microwave for 3.5 minutes stirring halfway through. Even with crunchy potatoes, it was better than other brands.

Being from New England I'm picky with chowder. This is a nice balance of a creamy base and loads of potatoes and clams. Ordered twice already and will order more.

Boy howdy, this was good clam chowder. Wasn't expecting much, since I'd never tried this brand before, but we were impressed. Lots of clams, thick but not goopy, and no weird/unexpected flavors (who puts bell pepper in clam chowder?!). Highly rec'd!

This is probably the best clam chowder I've ever eaten. Easy to heat, tasty, just the right amount of pepper. I added nothing but the spoon!!

We have loved this Clam chowder for a long time and have looked forward to seeing it back on the menu. I am sorry to say this particular batch was disappointing. None of the potatoes were as tender as they should have been. Hoping for better next time!

I love New England style clam chowder. With a pinch of fresh dill, this is excellent and worth eating again and again. Great cold weather dish.
