-Add 3-4 hole bay leaves, 1 tea spoon of tarragon and about half a gallon of half and half and simmer uncovered for about 20 min. or until you get the thickness you like.(mix it every 2-3 min or so to keep it from sticking and burning on the bottom.)
-Let it cool a bit ,pick out the bay leaves and enjoy.

As with most chowders this is even better the next day.
