CHEF JOHN'S MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER
Manhattan clam chowder is usually very watery, too tomato-y, and not nearly clammy enough so I reworked the recipe into something significantly more rich, satisfying, and delicious. My secrets? A ton of clams, not too much tomato, and a little bit of flour to thicken things up. Serve with oyster crackers and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, tarragon, or even dill, if desired.

Steps:
- Drain baby and chopped clams. Reserve liquid in the refrigerator until needed and set clams aside.
- Place bacon in a soup pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir until well-browned and almost crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until onions start to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Don't worry if some of the tomato paste sticks to the bottom of the pot; we want that to happen. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Dump in reserved clam juice plus bottled clam juice and chicken broth. Stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any caramelization.
- Add carrots, celery, clams, diced tomatoes, pepper, and cayenne; stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off some bacon fat if desired.
- Add diced potatoes and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed. Stir in fresh tarragon and parsley just before serving.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before starting, dice the vegetables, clam meat, and bacon (if using). Prepare the chicken stock and cornstarch slurry. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and efficiently.
- Use fresh or frozen clams: If using fresh clams, scrub them thoroughly and remove any sand or grit. Frozen clams can be used without thawing.
- Add vegetables in stages: To ensure the vegetables retain their texture and flavor, add them in stages. Start with the vegetables that take longer to cook, such as potatoes and carrots. Then, add the softer vegetables, such as celery and onion.
- Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the chowder: A cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water that is used to thicken soups and stews. To make a slurry, combine equal parts cornstarch and water in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Slowly add the slurry to the chowder while stirring constantly. Bring the chowder to a simmer and cook until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season to taste: Once the chowder has thickened, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs, such as thyme or parsley.
- Serve immediately or store for later: Manhattan clam chowder is best served immediately, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, reheat the chowder over medium heat until warmed through.
