Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop the vegetables, mince the garlic, and measure out the spices before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
  • Choose high-quality clams: Fresh or frozen clams can be used in this recipe. If using fresh clams, make sure they are live and have tightly closed shells. If using frozen clams, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water.
  • Use a good quality clam juice: The clam juice is an important part of this chowder, so make sure to use a good quality brand. Look for clam juice that is made from 100% clam juice, without any added salt or preservatives.
  • Don't overcook the chowder: The chowder is done when the clams are cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Overcooking the chowder will make the clams tough and the vegetables mushy.
  • Serve the chowder with your favorite toppings: Some classic toppings for Manhattan clam chowder include oyster crackers, crumbled bacon, and chopped fresh parsley. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lemon juice.
