Ivar’s Clam Chowder With Bacon located in the deli section. Item # 748273
Most soups are seasonal items and are typically sold during the fall/winter season. Please check your local Costco for product availability.
My family loves this clam chowder except that I find it to be a bit too thick. Therefore i will add a little bit of water to the soup to loosen it up to my liking. Other than that, I find it to be pretty good. All it needs is some oyster crackers or bread to go with it. It’s very convenient as all you need to do is heat it up and then you can serve it !
I would would recommend this item so then it is Emily approved ! 🙂
