Looks good Harry, but I'm really not a chowder eater. What could be
substituted for the Clams?

A chowda is, by definition, a hearty, chunky concoction. Replacing the
clams with some other ingredient would still leave you with a chowda. :-)

Could be, John.

I've always related "chowdah" with clam or any of many seafood or fish
based soups.

So I was thinking of a substitute for the clams/fish to make something
more for my palate.....

So without the seafood[s] would it still be "chowdah?"

There's a wonderful site on the internet called dictionary.com:

chow·der ( P ) Pronunciation Key (choudr)
n.
1. A thick soup containing fish or shellfish, especially clams, and
vegetables, such as potatoes and onions, in a milk or tomato base.
2. A soup similar to this seafood dish: corn chowder.
