Manhattan clam chowder is a soup traditionally made from clams, pork, herbs tomatoes and other vegetables. Despite its name, it originated in Rhode Island not Manhattan.
Clam chowder, in its cream-based, New England version, has existed since the mid-18th century, and no mention of any Manhattan chowder has been found that predates the 1930s.[citation needed] Many restaurants in northern Rhode Island sell both red and white chowders, while the US southern coast favors clear and white chowders. Often they are served alongside clam cakes.
According to Alton Brown, the use of tomatoes instead of milk was initially the work of Portuguese immigrants in Rhode Island, as tomato-based stews were already a traditional part of Portuguese cuisine. New Englanders called this modified version Manhattan-style clam chowder as a pejorative because, in their view, calling someone a New Yorker was an insult.[1]
Recipe I
Ingredients
- 15 ounce (425 g) canned potatoes, or 2 small boiled potatoes
- 28 ounce (794 g) canned tomatoes in juice, or 2 large tomatoes and tomato juice

- 2 stalks of celery
Procedure
- Core the tomatoes. Remove the pale parts and the seeds. For canned tomatoes, a strainer will be helpful.
- Chop all non-clam ingredients to match the clams in size.
- Optionally add spices. Suggestions: dill seed, basil, thyme, celery seed, tarragon, marjoram, fresh cilantro
- Cook the chowder without boiling until the celery begins to get soft.
Variation
You can use a sturdy type of fish in place of the clams. Good choices are catfish, tilapia, and pollock. You can use cooked rice in place of the potatoes. You can add spinach or seaweed, perhaps in place of the celery. You can add lemon juice.
