Time 45m

Yield 1 quart, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped onions
1/4 cup sliced celery (optional)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can minced clams (I use whole baby)
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, chop with juice (or 1 can stewed tomatoes)
1 small potato, cubed
1 small carrot, chopped
1 dash thyme or 1 dash marjoram
salt
cayenne pepper
1 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
oyster crackers (optional)

Steps:

Combine all ingredients except crackers in a saucepan.
Simmer covered for 30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
Serve with oyster crackers or crackers of your choice.

Tips:

Use fresh clams for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use canned clams, but the flavor will be less intense.
Don't overcook the clams. Clams are delicate and will toughen if they are cooked for too long. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your chowder more flavor and texture. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for a bit of acidity.
Serve the chowder hot. Manhattan clam chowder is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Manhattan clam chowder is a classic New England dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, creamy broth, tender clams, and variety of vegetables, it's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
