Steps:
- In pot, cook potato, onion, salt and pepper in water until potato is tender.
- Add all remaining ingredients and heat through, but not allowing to boil.
Tips:
- Use fresh clams if possible. Fresh clams will give your chowder a more intense flavor than canned clams.
- If you're using canned clams, be sure to rinse them well before using. This will remove any excess salt or grit.
- Don't overcook the clams. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy.
- Add the milk or cream last. Adding the milk or cream too early will cause the chowder to curdle.
- Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the chowder with crackers or crusty bread. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
