The modifications sound good. Do you add salt? What's the DV% on the sodium?

>>7338977
A 150g can of clams has about 800mg. I don't know if draining it removes any salt. The chowder itself already has 2300mg.

I don't know if OP eats the whole thing in one meal.

But I don't recommend adding salt to it.

by the time you're done with your modifications, it wouldn't really be any less convenient or more time consuming to just make it

I don't add additional salt because the canned chowder has around 26% DV and the canned clams add another 15%. Besides the health reasons, it doesn't really need it from a flavor perspective. I also eat it with saltene crackers, and I'm sure that kicks it up a few percent as well.
1 can (after modifications) usually yields dinner for the night, plus a small lunch that I can microwave at work for the next day.

If you keep cream and butter on hand, the rest is shelf stable and can be prepared whenever.

With homemade clam chowder, you need to have all the ingredients. Then you need to prepare the vegetables.

Then, according to this http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/new-england-clam-chowder-104185

10 minutes + 8 minutes + 2 minutes + 5 minutes. That's like half an hour, when you could probably boil a can of soup in five, dump the clams in, and add your seasoning.

do you even /ck/?

>>7339009
You assume it's mediocre.

>implying canned soup is ever anything other than mediocre at best

A lot of times, I get home from work late (after midnight) and just want to drink myself into oblivion, then end up hungry while wanting an easy to make meal before I go to bed.
With using canned clam chowder, it takes a lot of the legwork out of what would normally be done, and like I said, you would be surprised at how much better it is by just adding all the mods to the pot
