For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Fresh clams can be substituted for canned, but be sure to steam them open first and reserve the broth. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle warmth to the chowder. Garnish with fresh parsley or oyster crackers for an elegant touch.
