BC FERRIES MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER
This is from a free recipe card that they used to give out on the BC ferries. It is a tomato based chowder and is very good. The recipe calls for clam nectar but the recipe zaar software changes it to clam juice. I'm pretty sure it's the same but you never know.

B C FERRIES MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER FOR FIRST CLASS PASSENGERS
In British Columbia, Canada, the Ferries that travel the beautiful trip between the Mainland and Vancouver Island, are famous for their "Manhattan" styled Clam Chowder. In the small village by Horseshoe Bay terminal, one of the little bistro's has it's own kicked up version. This is my copycat version of their version! NOTE - this is on the spicy/hot side so if you aren't a fan of that, don't add the red pepper flakes. Serve up with a crusty white artisan bread and a crisp, dry white wine. May I recommend BC's Sonoma Ranch Pinot Grigio. UPDATE: Sept 3, 2012 - Upped the flavour factor on this tasty soup last night by adding in a small chopped zucchini, a small finely chopped fennel bulb and instead of using tomato paste I added 2 TBSP of chipotle adobe sauce. If you don't like the spice of peppers you could add some liquid smoke or smoked paprika instead. Because of the added ingredients I added a bit more clamato and a bit more wine.

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:
- Use fresh clams. Fresh clams are essential for the best flavor in this chowder. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but make sure they are thawed before using.
- Don't overcook the clams. Clams are delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
- Use a good quality clam juice. Clam juice is a key ingredient in this chowder, so make sure you use a good quality brand. Look for clam juice that is made with fresh clams and has a clear, light color.
- Add vegetables to your liking. This recipe calls for diced celery, onion, and carrots, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, corn, or peas.
- Season the chowder to taste. The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Conclusion:
Manhattan clam chowder is a classic dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is hearty and filling, with a rich and flavorful broth. This recipe is for a First-Class version of the chowder, using fresh clams, a good quality clam juice, and a variety of vegetables. Follow the tips above to make the best Manhattan clam chowder you've ever had!
