New England clam chowder.

Clam chowder is any of several chowders containing clams and broth. Along with the clams, potato chunks are common, as are onions, which are occasionally sauteed in the drippings from salt pork. Other vegetables are uncommon, but small carrot strips might occasionally be added, primarily for color. A garnish of parsley serves the same purpose. Bay leaves are also sometimes used as a garnish and flavoring. Image File history File links Download high resolution version (1024x768, 120 KB)New England clam chowder. ...

New England Clam Chowder

One point of view contends that New England clam chowder has become creamier (often thickened with roux) over the years as a result of tourism in New England, whereas the traditional recipe calls for a soupier chowder, with only cream and no added thickening agents. Supposedly tourists, sometimes squeamish of clams and seafood, prefer the creamier chowder. At one time, some restaurants served clear chowder, and let customers add cream to taste, but that practice is very rare today. Adding tomatoes to clam chowder was shunned, to the point that a 1939 bill making tomatoes in clam chowder illegal was introduced in the Maine legislature.[1] Roux (IPA: ) (pronounced like the English word rue) is a mixture of wheat flour and fat. ...

Manhattan clam chowder

Manhattan clam chowder has clear broth, plus tomato for red color and flavor. In the 1890s, this chowder was called "Coney Island clam chowder" and "Fulton Fish Market clam chowder." The name "Manhattan clam chowder" became attached in the early 1900s. Restaurants typically serve New England or Manhattan chowder, but not both. Manhattan chowder was simply an Italian clam soup renamed for reasons of style. Clam chowder, in its cream-based New England version, has been around since the mid-18th century, adding that no mention of any Manhattan chowder has been found that predates the 1930's. Any restaurant in northern Rhode Island will sell both red and white chowders, while the southern coast favors clear and white chowders. Often they are served alongside clam cakes.

Rhode Island clam chowder has clear broth.
