Clam chowder
Rich and briny with tender clams and potato, either creamy in the New England style or tangy and tomato-forward in the Manhattan style.
Lens analyzedClam chowder is a thick soup built around clams, potatoes, and onion, most commonly found in a creamy New England style or a tomato-based Manhattan style. It's sold canned or in refrigerated deli containers, ready to heat and serve.
Where it comes from
Clam chowder developed among coastal New England fishing communities, and the creamy version became the more widely recognized style across North America, while the tomato-based Manhattan style developed as a regional variation.
Buying it
Check whether a can or container is the creamy New England style or the tomato-based Manhattan style, since they taste quite different despite sharing the same name.
Storing it
Store unopened cans in the pantry; refrigerate after opening or if purchased fresh from a deli, and use within a few days.
Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
