Clam chowder

I haven't made clam chowder before (i think), and I felt like trying it. I used salmon broth I made last summer instead of clam juice, so it had that flavor in it too. I used canned whole clams instead of chopped, which meant I had to chop them myself. It worked out ok. And I used 1/2 cup cream and then added some frozen corn for fun. I liked the corn in it.

I added some cornstarch/water mix at the end because it wasn't thickened at all. I used canned potatoes and a couple red ones I had lying around, so there wasn't the expected potato starch you'd have from russets that the recipe calls for.

This recipe worked fine.
