Depends on how '3D' you want them to be.
Here's a way of using Volumetric Fog ( the clouds have 'depth' but
they aren't as good as the one's mentioned above ). But, then again, there are no plugins to buy....may be worth a look..

That Tornado tutorial thats been doing the round can on the net can be used to make really nice looking clouds.

Ofcourse you would have to change it around a bit to look like a cloud instead of a tornado.
