- 3 cups water
- 1 bay leaf

- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lb cooked jumbo shrimp (add this to make the chowder really great) (optional)

Bring to a boil and add potatoes.8
Simmer 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.9

Great starter recipe for us. I used 3 dozen clams because that was what was in the bag from Costco. I used Poblano pepper instead of green because that's what I had and I used 1 quart of low sodium chicken broth instead of water and added 2 small cans tomato paste to thicken a bit. Will do this again! Thanks

This is wonderful! I had to make some changes, due to the fact we are 80 kms from town. I had a pound of uncooked prawns, so I tossed them in right before serving. Didn't put in the green peppers, and added red pepper flakes. I agree...the prawns just made it that much better!! Thanks for sharing.

This was very good Manhattan clam chowder!! Couldn't use fresh clams, used 2 cans of baby clams and their liquer, other than that followed the recipe exactly. Wondered about there being no salt added, thought maybe it was because of the bacon but found we had to add salt and more pepper at the table. Also there is parsley in the ingrediant list but is not in the instructions, so I added some with the celery and carrots and used the other half as a garnish. I think when I make it again I will add a little heat to it with either red pepper flakes or maybe some Cajun seasoning. It seemed to be lacking something, but adding the salt did help and we did enjoy it and will certainly make it again. Thanks for sharing, it is very good.

Very good BUT only if you add some Oyster Sauce to it. Otherwise I found it a little bland. With the Oyster Sauce it is great. Each person can add it to their bowl before eating to taste. About one tea spoon per serving.
