New England Clam Chowder

United States · North America

Short description
A creamy seafood soup with tender clams and potatoes, usually served hot with crackers or bread.
Ingredients
Clams, potatoes, onion, celery, cream, clam broth, herbs, and salt pork or bacon make a thick white chowder.
Cultural note
Its seaside roots show in the briny clam flavor, while dairy and potatoes make it filling enough for cold-weather lunches.
Common misconception
The creamy white style is different from tomato-based versions with the same seafood base.
