Very good recipe. I had to be careful on the cooking time of the potatoes and the recipe called for too much thyme. Was very good fresh but the leftovers where overwhelmingly thymy.

I made this exact recipe but wasn't able to get the leeks so used scallions instead. Otherwise I followed the recipe to the letter. The soup was excellent but didn't taste at all like Red Lobster clam chowder, not even close.
