NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER

New England Clam Chowder image

This is a passed down recipe that was prepared for our Christmas party. It originated from Shady Pines Campground in Savoy, MA. The recipe is party sized so to make smaller batches just reduce all ingredients equally. This recipe makes 9 quarts! Ingredients can be divided to fit into 2 crock pots or use medium 10 quart stock pot. We always used an industrial sized slow cooker.
