Disneyland Clam Chowder Recipe

So remember how you can ASK Disneyland for pretty much any recipe in their park? Guys – I know I have said it before, but I’m saying it again, and again, and again – YOU CAN ASK FOR RECIPES! No need to buy the expensive recipe books at the park or in Downtown Disney because they’re giving out the recipes for free!

The best clam chowder I’ve ever had was in San Francisco. (Remember that one time hubby surprised me with a day trip to San Fran for my birthday? It was pretty epic!) The ONLY place that could rival San Fran in the clam chowder department is Disneyland.

All you gotta do is go to the Main Street office, wait in line, and ask! I was going to joke about having to wait in a line, but if you think about it, it totally makes sense. I mean, I willingly wait in line to go on a Disney attraction… why not wait in line to get a recipe? The food in Disneyland is the main attraction for me anyway. Just sayin.

The only problem is, at least with this Disneyland recipe, is that it was in a HUGE portion. Probably because they make one Mickey-sized batch and it lasts them all day. (only kidding!)

Converting this Disneyland clam chowder recipe from a zillion gallon portion of soup to a small family portion of soup was a slight feat. (I lie – I totally had my husband do it for me!)

The whole time I was making this soup I kept thinking, “There’s no way this is THAT good,” and, “No way this is the actual recipe they use in Disneyland.” Guys…. I think it legit IS the recipe they use in the Disney parks.

It tastes exactly like what I remember it tasting like in Disneyland. The only thing missing was the Sourdough bread bowl – and that was 100% my bad.

I wish I could have eaten both of these Disneyland clam chowder recipe s right next to each other, but I don’t think that’s a possibility. What I can tell you is it’s delicious, worth buying canned clams (EW, right?) and made an AMAZING leftover (that is, if you HAVE any left over!)

The only thing that irriated me about about this Disneyland Clam Chowder recipe (besides the enormous quantity) was the clams. The recipe calls for 2 1/4 cups of clams, but only 1 c. of clams. I bought TWO cans thinking I’d have enough juice and was WRONG. I was a little short and fudged it. However, I had MORE than 1 cup of clams, but what on EARTH am I going to need canned clams for?

You can see my dilemma, right? In the end, I put the extra clams into the mix and was a little short on liquid. NEXT TIME I make this, I will buy THREE cans of clams (to assure I have enough liquid) and find another recipe to use the extra clams.

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve written about my love for Disneyland, but did you know I ran TWO half marathons (One is Disneyland and one in Disney World and a 10K? If you’ve never done a Disney race, I’d HIGHLY recommend it. There is no other way to describe it other than MAGICAL.

Also, if you LOVE Disneyland recipes (WE ALL DO!) then I’d highly recommend checking out THIS post from my friend Ashlee. I mean – the Monte Cristo at Disneyland is my all-time favorite! And the beignets because …. aren’t those basically donuts? My friend Alli has some really cute Mickey and Minnie cupcakes. Can you even?

Have you tried making this Disneyland clam chowder recipe before?ย  Let me know in a comment below!

    I have to tell you: as for me & my mom – there’s never too many clams (or too much garlic, lol…). Just dump in
    all 3 cans of ‘whole’ (not minced) clams and thank me later.

    You’re welcome…

      OOOOOKAAAY you might have just become my best friend! I don’t think I’ve EVER had too much garlic. It’s my FAVORITE!
      Plus, I’m all about not having to mince things. Win-Win!

    I want to make this for Father’s Day.
    Are canned clams (Snow’s Brand Chopped) ok? I also also Snows sells just the juice as well.

      Thatโ€™s what I used! Canned clams! I remember wishing I had more clam juice so if you can buy that too Iโ€™d recommend it. Let me know how it turns out!!

    Just made it and it’s perfect. Serving size is 8-10 if you are only eating a cup. If you are eating a bowl (or bread bowl) it’s probably closer to 4-5 servings. I wish I would have read the reviews prior to buying clams. I ended up with minced clams and they were just bits and pieces.

    Best clam chowder recipe! Just finished making it again and thought Iโ€™d leave a comment while it cooks ๐Ÿ˜Š. My husband and I are huge Disneyland fans and LOVE to get the Pacific Wharfs clam chowder for lunch every time we visit the park. This recipe is the closest to it and we absolutely love it. My husband gifted me the Unofficial Disney Cookbook for Christmas so we ( I ๐Ÿ˜… ) can make all our favorite foods and honestly this clam chowder beats the cookbook version 100%! An absolute must try! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe.

    Clam chowder was requested by inlaws for Xmas Eve. Thought I’d give this a try. 13 people. All RAVED about this. Usually my FIL buys store boughten (eck)….I doubled the recipe…forgot to buy red peppers but had yolo peppers chopped/frozen from my garden. I used both chopped and whole canned clams (more than what recipe called for.) My 13 yr old ate 4 bowls himself. There are no leftovers! This will be my go to from now on!
