20 Best Canned New England Clam Chowder (2022 Updated)

The ingredients are of high quality, and it is definitely good, thick and creamy, though on the bland side. I think of it being bland as a plus, so that you can flavor it up as you like. I add things such as chopped fresh parsley, paprika powder, croutons, butter, freshly cracked black pepper.

The clams are fresh and have nice texture. For me, the potatoes are disappointing though. They are all mashed-up into the creamy broth, with almost no biteable bits. By the time you add your own little cubed potatoes, however, you could practically have made your own chowder from scratch.

Read great reviews and bought 2 cans. I was very disappointed and called the number on the can to complain. Nobody was there to answer so I left a message with my phone number and never heard back. I tried the first can only to find a milky broth with only the slightest specks of what I thought were clam bits and a couple specks of corn.

I returned the unopened can to the Market Basket where I bought them without a problem. Bar Harbor chowder is a complete and total rip-off. Never again !.

I am not a big fan of any can soup as I like to make it myself which guarantees quality and authenticity. I know what I use to make my soup. As for this one, I first just bought one can to fulfill the free shipping order limit, didn’t have high expectations.

However, as I used it as a sauce base to make shrimp pasta at home, I won lots of applauses!! It is an excellent sauce base for any seafood pastas! Just ordered another 10 cans!.

THIS IS MY SOUPPPP. I typically have at least 6 cans of this in my pantry. Hurricane? I will survive on this soup. Apocalypse? I am good for at least 6 days. I have been eating this soup or a variation of it since I was a child.

Campbell’s CCC or the Walmart brand or this one but this one reigns supreme of all the versions. When I tell you this is an amazing soup, I mean this is the LONGEST review I have written, and it’s about soup.

I love this soup so much I actually just eat it straight from the can, cold. Honestly I don’t even really like it heated up. I absolutely adore this soup. There was a time when Progresso had a lighter, healthier version and those were the days.

I could eat an entire can and feel less guilty at around 200ish calories, but now I easily eat all 400 calories and still. don’t feel that guilty. It really is like a childhood comfort. Soup straight out of the can.

Easy peel off lid and spoon, meal achieved. I am 31 years old. Best soup in the world. Progresso, never stop making this.

Progresso New England Clam Chowder is yummy. This is a rich and hearty clam chowder. Not one that is watered down. I have eaten New England clam chowder in seafood restaurants, but for my money and choice, I pick Progresso new england clam chowder for a quick delicious fix at home.

You know you are eating clam chowder–it is full of perfectly cooked potatoes and clams. Progresso also makes a lighter version of New England Clam Chowder and that is also delicious if you are looking for a lighter version.

My favorite progresso soup next to lentil for sure!!.

This chowder was excellent, however, we made it even BETTER by adding our own fresh clams. You can harvest them from the beach! It’s so simple, we learnt how to do it here: https://youtu. be/HDmFhWXFFaE We fed a bunch of people, serious seafoodies/ clam chowder connoisseurs – and they all voted that it ended up being the BEST clam chowder they’ve ever had.

Our freshly harvested and added clams, combined with this canned chowder, pushed the flavor over the edge – into pure Heaven in a bowl! Unforgettable! Truly!.

I’ll be honest, I do not like this. I cannot stand the smell. My boyfriend on the other hand, loves it and eats it often. I just don’t like seafood in general. If you’re sensitive to seafood or seafood smells, then I would suggest keeping this out of your house or at least keep from being around while it’s being consumed.

Unless you love someone who likes this soup enough. (He bought more. Please send help. ).

This soup has very good flavor. It has a very good ckam flavor to it. The base is very creamy. The potatoes are a bit too big. They could be a bit smaller. More bite size would be better. Their texture is good.

They are not grainy or mushy. They make up a good oart of the hearty aspect of the soup. What I don’t like is there isn’t enough of the clams in the soup. What is in there is just some small bits. They don’t lend themselves to the hearty aspect of the soup.

In my opinion if a soup is going to claim to be hearty then all of the main ingredients should be close to the same size. I want to know that I’ve eaten a bite of clam and a bite of potato in each bite.

Not having big enough clam pieces is really the only complaint that I have for this soup.

As far as taste, my wife prefers this brand over others ( I’m NOT a clam guy ). My reason for giving it only 1 star? In this order of 4 cans ( plus 6 cans of a different product) were packed WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION – NO Bubble wrap and ALL CANS ARE DENTED!!! NO MORE buying canned goods at walmart.

com! They always come with at least half the order dented. Their packaging department needs some serious training on how to package products properly. I’d NOT recommend any canned items unless going to walmart and buying off the shelf for yourself.

If I had cam to post photos, i would but we do not have a phone and digicam is broken ( have to get a new one ).

The Campbell’s CHUNKY New England Clam Chowder is sooo good. I like to eat mines by itself or with some white rice. Literally worth trying when want a soup-like meal or a fast meal. I stay with a can or two in my cabinets.

I love that if you don’t want to fix itb on the stove you can fix it in the microwave. 180 calories of deliciousness to me. Honestly, you have to try it to determine if it’s a fit for you but, I enjoy it especially with my college budget.

I love this soup and I am not the kinda girl to eat a lot of soup. It is so rich and creamy. The chunks of potatoes are cooled perfectly. Clams are a love of mine and Campbells is generous with them.

I am a repeat, loyal custom Very inexpensive. Great quality and generous amount. Note get this one Campbells Chunky Clam Chowder. It is amazing 5 out of 5 The regular one is disgusting.

I don’t eat canned soups often but when I do, it’s. I usually don’t finish it in one sitting since it’s a pretty big portion so I eat half and save the rest for later. I love how thick and chunky the soup is! I find myself adding extra seasoning sometimes.

It’s nowhere near bland but adding extra things to it makes it taste like a soup you could find at a restaurant! It’s definitely my favorite soup from Campbell’s!.

Campbells canned soups are pretty consistent. Sometimes they can have a little too much sodium for my taste or for my health. I like the convenient tab on the lid to open the cans. It beats using my can opener.

Also not a huge fan of the condensed soups. But creamy chicken and herb dumpling was very hearty and filling. Good for cold days.

I absolutely just love the Campbell soups. They are so warm and cozy to have for a dinner with the sandwich and the texture is perfect. The gravy is not too thick, it is not too thin, the chicken pieces are nice and big and the vegetables are not hard l.

They’re nice and soft and fresh tasting. This soup tastes very very good. It does not taste like it came out of a can.

Clam chowder fan! Chunky potatoes and clams. Good broth. Worth its price. Low price affordable too. Some pepper in the broth and potatoes would be good. Fulfilling and hearty. I always have a can in my closet.

Look, I know that Walmart isn’t a Wegmans or, a Whole Foods. But this trend of buying canned Clam Chowder and finding out it’s really just crumbly potatoes and bits of jerky, is starting wear on me. As for the look of the soup….

it’s uhh, unpleasant at first, but after boiling or microwaving it it should look better. The taste isn’t too bad, I added crackers to it a d I thought it was fine. Still though It’s mostly potatoes.

Okay so I know this is probably a bit overly dramatic sounding but I’m a Mainer and I ordered the New England style clam chowder, I really did not like this Rhode Island kind, it’s so different, I feel like you could’ve at least substituted for another brand’s version of the N.

E. style, they’re like completely different types of chowder, different taste and texture entirely, my mom who also loves chowder also hated it, if you like this stuff good for you but where I’m from we only really eat N.

E. style, obviously home made is the best but canned N. E style is also acceptable, but this stuff is just completely nasty to us.

One of my top three go to soups. I love the chunky selections of flavor and I love the consistency. This is a great cold day or not feeling so great to soup. I love making mine in a bread bowl, if you have a store that carries small sourdough loaves.

This is an excellent go to meal if you are short on time or just not feeling well. Great flavor and never too expensive.

My grandmother loved this chowder! I would buy this for her often- 2 packs at a time because she would go through them so quickly :). Only con was that I wish it was sold in store, because it would be easier at times to have it readily available.

Shipping seemed to be quite awhile for some reason. #sweepstakes.

This is not the worst chowder i’ve ever tasted but come on Campbells! You should call it New England Potato Chowder. I am from New England. Maine that is. And I have been eating New England CLAM Chowder all my life.

Number one, This chowder tastes like it burnt at the bottom of the pot. Number two, WHERE ARE THE CLAMS? They are literally crumbs at best! It does have the correct thickness and the creaminess is there, but the first two problems are just not acceptable.

Please, Campbells, I absolutely love your soups and I wouldn’t know where to turn if you were gone but take another taste of this chowder and come on up to MAINE where it is perfected and I’m sure you will understand what I’m saying.

Hope to see a change. Norm.

Growing up in New England, I had no choice, whether to eat clam chowder or not. You either had it, or went to bed hungry. My moms recipe is the best, and if you’re at Legal Sea Food, by all means devour it.

The Campbells Soup Company’s version is alright. I’m can’t give it “awesome “ or “must have” superlatives. Yet when in a pinch it works. It takes a lot of effort, to create and cook clam chowder. This single dad doesn’t have the time.

Occasionally I’ll get it, and at $1. 88 or so it’s a bargain. It’s also filling, and if you get the fish crackers, that improves it even more. I think there’s not enough clams in here. They do cost a good bit, but underwhelmed by this.

Am happy by its taste though, as it is pretty good. All you need is a minute to two in the microwave.

Love this product! I always buy it when looking for soups. Even though it’s low fat, it still has great flavor and is decently thick. I will say it is thicker in the beginning of eating it and thins out towards the end but is still delicious.

Plus the actual clam pieces in there are great too. Would recommend.

I made a terrible mistake. I stocked up on various Progresso canned soups. I am rather careful to read labels and I don’t know how I missed it but now I see that most all of the Progresso products say that they contain genetically modified stuff.

I don’t know whether to be more disgusted at myself for missing it or at Progresso for selling cheap garbage Frankenfood and putting their love of profit (or love of money as the Bible puts it) so far ABOVE the health and well being of their customers.

This is clam chowder the way I like it. I prefer the thinner consistency over the thick gloopy kind you often find in the market. The taste is close to homemade though I admit that I sprinkle a dusting of Old Bay Seasoning over each serving bowl to make it taste like mom’s.

The best part is that each WHOLE CAN has only 210 calories. This allows me to have a guilty pleasure and still stay on my low-cal diet. Win/win.

I buy a lot of Stonewall Kitchen products and love most of them. I really wanted to love this soup, but it felt like it was missing something. You definitely must add salt and pepper or it has no flavor.

I used 1/2 and 1/2 in the recipe. As a soup it was very good and tasted delicious. As a chowder it was not chunky enough and did not have enough clams or potatoes.

I would sadly have to agree with the two previous reviews. This is a thin, watery, flavorless soup and is easily the poorest canned clam chowder I have ever tried. No amount of doctoring seemed to help.

Stonewall Kitchen really missed the boat with this one.

The consistency was very thin, not at all like chowder. Claims were so few that they were difficult to find. The chowder was poorly seasoned, as well. I would not order this item, again!

They changed the recipe again. This time they added much more water so it’s less creamy with less flavor which is not the “chunky” brand style I grew up with. I am extremely disappointed with Campbells for ruining my favorite soup.

I will not be buying this brand again.
