Tips:

  • Use fresh clams whenever possible. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor.
  • If you can't find fresh clams, use frozen clams. Frozen clams are a good substitute for fresh clams, but they won't have quite the same flavor.
  • Be sure to clean the clams thoroughly before using them. Clams can contain sand and grit, so it's important to clean them well before cooking them.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your chowder. Vegetables like potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and texture to the chowder.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality clam broth. The clam broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality broth.
  • Add some cream or milk to the chowder. Cream or milk will help to thicken the chowder and make it more creamy.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the chowder hot. Clam chowder is best served hot, with a side of crackers or bread.
