Every corner of the world has its own style of soup.
Here’s how each soup ranked in descending order from the least desirable to the absolute best.

I’d say for every tender spud there were maybe one to two small bits of clam.
I forked over $6.99 for a cup of the clam-filled concoction.
A larger bowl is also available for $2 more.

The look:A ring of oil formed around the edges of this chowderif you might call it that.
It looks to me more like a cup of Alfredo sauce with some bits floating about.
The taste:Runny with a side of tastelessness.

The real issue, however, is that Red Lobster’s rendition lacked gusto.
Perhaps mediocre dishes like this clam chowder are the reason the chain is struggling to come up for air.
Well, it actually stemmed from a modest lineup of sandwiches, soups, and salads.

Plus, you have the option to order it as part of a soup and salad lunch special.
However, it made up for it with a promising thick and chunky consistency.
The taste:Hearty and more scrumptious than I expected for a dish born from such an unspecialized restaurant.

It’s certainly spud-forward with plenty of starchy flavor all around.
My few critiques would revolve around an extra dose of saltiness accompanied by a very mild ocean-life tang.
My cup rang up $11 and the larger bowl was priced at $13.
The look:I’m not 100% sure that what was given to me was just a cup.
It has all the makings of a wicked good chowder (New Englanders will appreciate the slang).
However, the chives add a touch of subtle zest in addition to a few shakes of pepper.
I simply must give my compliments to the chef.
