Campbell's Chunky Soup, OLD BAY Seasoned Clam Chowder, 18.8 oz Can

If you like clam chowder with a little bit of kick to it, you should give this a try. I really like it! I have 2 or 3 cans over the course of a week. It makes a very filling quick (3 minute) lunch with crackers, or even a dinner with a sandwich and salad. Plenty of potatoes, pieces of clam and a creamy thick broth that's nice and spicy.

Taste like REAL New England clam chowder. Be aware of you people who are sensitive to salt. It is a little higher salt. The taste is amazing! I can’t find this product here in upstate New York in many of my big box stores. I found it once on accident in a family owned grocery store. Dont be taken by the color … it’s not true white !! Must try !! You won’t be let down !! The value .. yep worth it .. it’s thicker !! Yummy !

I love New England Clam chowder and sadly there just aren't many places that make a mean one. The best you can do is Campbells. I do like the taste of their "chunky" and "homestyle". So I decided to try this new 'Old Bay' variation. It's good, but nothing special. It does not taste like the regular, because the seasoning changes the flavor making it stronger. Or should I say, "saltier". Does the seasoning make it better?Not really. It just the chunky flavor with the saltiness of 'Old Bay'. Instead of having a more "white" looking soup you have a "reddish" tint to it thanks to the 'Old Bay'.As a person who has cooked with 'Old Bay' seasoning, it is not a seasoning you can just toss onto on into a stew or soup without knowing how to make it the spices involved in the mixture work, because it is very salty. Just like Lawry's seasoning salt.What I would like Campbells to do is actually take the time and make a New England Clam chowder that is on par with what the Southern or Northern fishing restaurants make. A strong clam flavor that actually sings with sound seasoning that compliments everything. But I guess this is the best Campbell's can do considering it's history. Plus, this is canned soup.Would I buy this again?Nope. I'll stick with the regular variation.

I didn't like the flavor. I've never had old bay seasoning before but I'm guessing that's what was off for me. Campbell's other clam chowders are excellent. I always have at least one in the pantry. This was the same good quality, just with a different spice.

Not a bad product, but not exactly the taste. I thought it would be.

Very thick and hearty soup with a little heat added. Also it is a great value for the price. I bought one can at the grocery store to try out when it was on sale for around $2.50. Loved it. Went back the following week and the sale was over and was priced at $3.69. So I checked amazon found the soup for $22.75, which comes out to $1.89 a can. Great price and great tasting soup.

I love Campbell's Chunky Clam Chowder, it is the only canned soup I buy. I decided to give this new version a try, my one complaint would be that's spicier than I thought it would be. I have only had Old Bay Seasoning in crab cakes which were delicious, and not overly spicy. This had quite a kick which will be perfect for those who like a little heat. That being said, it was otherwise good. Not overly salty or sweet in my opinion. I didn't read the reviews before purchasing, if I had I probably wouldn't have bought it. But the price was good especially with the 20% coupon, which made it a great value. With the addition of Ritz crackers which helped with the spiciness, it was fine. Overall I would would rate it 4.5 amped up to 5.0 with the $7.70 savings. Going forward I will stick with the original which I love, it's just getting harder to find especially at an affordable price.

Although the combination sounds appealing - in reality they dumped raw bitter old bay into potato soup without any other spices. Awful bitter taste. U have been warned.
