Thin Or Thick?

O.K. so a couple of posts ago, I posted about a book and I told you that the last line of the book was "CLAM CHOWDER FOR LUNCH!" I told you I was craving clam chowder at the end of the post. I really was craving clam chowder the other day. Then my aunt called. That changed everything. She said that I better post about thick clam chowder not thin. But my Nana said to post about thin clam chowder.  I was torn. So, I decided to blog about both. My poll in June  is "Which Type Of Clam Chowder Do You Like?” Please vote on the blog, as I would love to know which type you like.  Either way there is a thick recipe and a thin recipe included in this post. Tell me what you think of both.

I LOVE clam chowder. Like my aunt, I like thick, creamy ones. I mean I live in New England. How can I not LOVE clam chowder? I grew up with oyster crackers on the side of my soups...and have grown to love oyster crackers just plain (are making oyster crackers in my future?) Does that mean I am a New Englander at heart? And the potatoes. How I love potatoes in rich, creamy clam chowder. My favorite clam chowder is not from where you would think. Not the ocean –front seafood restaurant, where I spend my summers...no, the one I love and crave is from the soup place at my local market...The Fruit Center. I LOVE their clam chowder. I wish that it were on the menu 24/7 so I could get it whenever I want. Instead, they vary their soups each day so... I can only get it on certain days.  Why! Oh why?!
