TIPS & TRICKS

What is New England Clam Chowder? It’s the creamy white version, as opposed to Manhattan-style clam chowder, which is made with tomatoes.

Instead of crackers, serve Classic New England Clam Chowder with warm slices of sourdough or other crusty bread and a green salad to round out the meal.

To serve chowder in edible bread bowls, cut the tops off large sourdough rolls, scoop out the inside, and warm the hollowed-out rolls briefly in the oven or toaster oven. Fill each with chowder and serve.
