Tips:
- Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the clams. Clams only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or they will become tough. Add them to the chowder last, and cook just until they are heated through.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your chowder more flavor and texture. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
- Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a brighter flavor.
- Serve the chowder hot. Manhattan clam chowder is best served hot, with a side of crackers or bread.

Manhattan clam chowder is a classic New England dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
