In celebration of it being September and in anticipation of Autumn we made soup even though the temperature outside was 104F! This is a light clam chowder with only 2 to 4 tablespoons of cream in about 4 servings.

Since we had some shrimp stock in the freezer we used it instead of clam juice. Also instead of bread we substituted oyster crackers. And since we were feeling indulgent we used 4 tablespoons of cream.
