Classic Manhattan clam chowder from the late 1800s in Rhode Island features tomatoes instead of cream in a savory twist on traditional New England clam chowder.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped bacon or salt pork
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 2 cans (6.5 oz each) minced or whole clams, undrained*
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced (2 cups)
  • 1/3 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) whole tomatoes, undrained
Instructions:
  • Cook the bacon and onion in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the onion is soft. Remove excess fat before proceeding.
  • Combine clams, potatoes, celery, and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
  • Incorporate the rest of the ingredients while using a fork to crush the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, occasionally stirring.
