If you’ve ever been to an Outback Steakhouse and ordered the clam chowder. You will realize two things one that this clam chowder has a kick to it, and two that it should not be considered an appetizer. The mock recipes I have seen call for a ton of heavy cream. My version is lightened up a bit by using condensed soup and just a cup of half and half. The condensed soup also saves a step of making a roux as it lends thickening agents.
