Derived from Portuguese cuisine, Manhattan Clam Chowder is tomato-based in keeping with Portuguese tradition of tomato-based stews. Unlike its Boston cousin, this chowder is lighter and thinner. Adding clam juice is key to enhancing the clam’s delicate flavour. Serve with warm crusty bread to soak it all up!
