Clam Chowder

This New England Clam Chowder is a thick, rich, and creamy soup that is a true American classic. It’s a hearty and satisfying chowder, packed with tender clams, potatoes, and onions. The creamy base is thickened with a simple roux of butter and flour, and enriched with half-and-half. A bit of crispy, salty bacon adds a wonderful smoky flavor that complements the sweetness of the clams. It’s the perfect soup to warm you up on a cold day. While it’s a staple in New England, you can easily bring the taste of a seaside clam shack to your own kitchen with this straightforward recipe. Serve it with oyster crackers for that classic touch.
