Tips:

  • Use fresh clams if possible. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen or canned clams can be used instead.
  • Soak the clams in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your chowder. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • 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. Look for a broth that is made with fresh clams and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of white wine or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve the chowder hot with crusty bread or crackers. Clam chowder is a hearty and delicious soup that is perfect for a cold day.
