Buttermilk Clam 'N Corn Chowder image

I have a recipe for Buttermilk Corn Chowder that I make often. Someone told me that they thought it would be good with minced clams added to it. I re-worked that recipe and this is what I came up with. It turned out delicious. This recipe is now one of our favorites.
