For single clouds, you can use the spherical pattern, scaled to the 
desired proportions, and add some turbulence.
For a group of clouds, you can use the bozo/bumps pattern and modulate 
it with a granite or agate pattern, also with a fair amount of turbulence.

You can use several wrap{turbulence...} at various scales to get the 
fine details. You can also increase the octaves and use larger omega 
parameter to get a similar effect.

For stratus clouds, a simple plane with some pattern can do the trick. 
Those are high altitude, thin clouds.
