Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 bunch parsley (stems for sachet, chopped leaves for garnish)
1 1/2 each bay leaves
1/2 head of garlic, for sachet
1 medium onion, medium dice
1 1/2 stalks celery, medium dice
1 1/2 carrots, medium dice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup canned clam juice
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 potatoes, medium dice, blanched until tender
Olive oil
1/4 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 bunch fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
8 ripe plum tomatoes, cut in half
12 cherrystone clams, scrubbed clean
1 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. In a roasting pan just large enough to hold plum tomatoes cut side down. Drizzle olive oil on bottom, and add garlic and half of the thyme and oregano. Top with cut tomatoes, cut side down, and roast in oven for 15 minutes. Remove the skins and process in food processor until roughly chopped. Steam open the clams, until just opened, with white wine. Strain the clam juice through cheese cloth to remove any sand. Reserve the juice and remove the clam meat. Make a sachet, all ingredients wrapped in cheesecloth, with parsley stems, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, and 1/2 head garlic. In a medium sauce pot sweat onion, celery, carrots, sachet, salt and pepper with olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add processed tomatoes and both clam juices. (Fresh and canned) Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender. Cool off with sachet in mixture. Next to extract the entire flavor from the sachet, squeeze it well and discard. Season mixture with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cut the tender clams in small chunks. Heat the potatoes in a pan with olive oil and a bit of clam juice. Toss in the clams, some oregano, and parsley. Distribute garnish into hot bowls. Heat the broth and ladle over garnish at last minute.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra vegetables, like corn and celery.

I found this chowder to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This chowder is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my guests. I love that I can use canned clams, which makes it a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I wasn't sure about the bacon in this recipe, but I'm glad I added it. It really adds a nice smoky flavor to the chowder.

This was my first time making clam chowder and it came out great! I used fresh clams and they really made a difference. The chowder was creamy and delicious.

I've made this chowder several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of clams, bacon, and vegetables is just perfect. I like to add a little extra Old Bay seasoning for a bit of a kick.

This Manhattan clam chowder is a keeper! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the clams were tender and juicy. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a hit with my family.
