About Clam Chowder
In the past, chowders (from the Latin word “calderia” which originally meant a “pot for warming things”) were considered to be a poor man’s food. Fish stews were known throughout the world and were a forerunner of today’s clam chowders.
There are many recipes for New England clam chowder but variations between them are few. This recipe calls for canned clams which for most home cooks are easier to find than fresh. Serve with oyster crackers, saltines, or warm sourdough rolls. Makes four big mugs of chowder.
