I do the quick and dirty version when I need a super quick tasty meal. Into a four cup glass microwave safe container: one can cream of mushroom soup, one 6.5 oz. canned clams with juice, 1/2 can (the soup can) skim milk, a palm-full of dried onion flakes, a handful of fresh spinach coarsely chopped. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, stir and then microwave one or two more minutes until hot but not bubbling. Ground pepper to taste and sometimes a few crushed pita chips.

Great recipe, uncomplicated and delicious as written. Will add fresh parsley and use slightly less half & half next time.

Needed to use up a can of clams and a container of mushrooms. Happened upon this recipe, and did not have potatoes on hand so I improvised with chopped celery and a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes. It gave a "Manhattan" feel to the chowder that was nice to dip bread into. Finished with coarse salt and cayenne. It was enjoyable enough that I would make this recipe again with the right ingredients.
