What it is

New England's creamy icon: clams, potatoes and onion in a milk-and-cream broth, thickened just enough to coat a spoon, with oyster crackers on top. Ingredients: quahog or cherrystone clams, salt pork or bacon, onion, celery, potatoes, clam juice, milk, cream, butter, thyme, oyster crackers. Recipe: 1) Steam clams; reserve the liquor, chop the meat. 2) Render salt pork; sweat onion and celery. 3) Add potatoes and clam liquor; simmer until tender. 4) Stir in milk, cream, butter and clams; heat gently — never boil hard. Serve: in a warm bowl with oyster crackers and a pat of butter. Flavor: briny-sweet clams in a clean, creamy broth. History: coastal New England chowders descend from French chaudière pots; Rhode Island purists keep it clear and Manhattan's tomato version is still fighting words.
