Time 45m

Yield 1 quart, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons chopped onions
1/4 cup sliced celery (optional)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can minced clams (I use whole baby)
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, chop with juice (or 1 can stewed tomatoes)
1 small potato, cubed
1 small carrot, chopped
1 dash thyme or 1 dash marjoram
salt
cayenne pepper
1 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
oyster crackers (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except crackers in a saucepan.
  • Simmer covered for 30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
  • Serve with oyster crackers or crackers of your choice.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop your vegetables and measure out your ingredients before you start cooking to make the process go more smoothly.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your chowder will taste. Choose fresh, local clams and vegetables, and use a good quality clam juice.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams are delicate and can easily become tough if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the dairy products at the end: Adding the milk and cream at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent them from curdling.
  • Season to taste: Taste your chowder and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until it reaches your desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Manhattan clam chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try!
