CHEF JOHN'S MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER
Manhattan clam chowder is usually very watery, too tomato-y, and not nearly clammy enough so I reworked the recipe into something significantly more rich, satisfying, and delicious. My secrets? A ton of clams, not too much tomato, and a little bit of flour to thicken things up. Serve with oyster crackers and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, tarragon, or even dill, if desired.

Steps:
- Drain baby and chopped clams. Reserve liquid in the refrigerator until needed and set clams aside.
- Place bacon in a soup pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir until well-browned and almost crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until onions start to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Don't worry if some of the tomato paste sticks to the bottom of the pot; we want that to happen. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Dump in reserved clam juice plus bottled clam juice and chicken broth. Stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any caramelization.
- Add carrots, celery, clams, diced tomatoes, pepper, and cayenne; stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off some bacon fat if desired.
- Add diced potatoes and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed. Stir in fresh tarragon and parsley just before serving.

MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER
You either like Manhattan clam chowder or you don't. James Beard famously called it "horrendous." But the chowder has its fans - the acidity of the tomatoes helps temper the salinity of the broth, and offers a pleasing sweetness besides. Green peppers and carrots add to the effect, and the garlic and red-pepper flakes speak to New York's immigrant past. It is certainly not a new development in the long history of clam chowder. Recipes for similar red-hued versions date back to the days of Delmonico's in the late 19th century.

Steps:
- Put the clams in a large, heavy Dutch oven, add about 4 cups water, then set over medium-high heat. Cover, and cook until clams have opened, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. (Clams that fail to open after 15 to 20 minutes should be discarded.) Strain clam broth through a sieve lined with cheesecloth or doubled-up paper towels, and set aside. Remove clams from shells, and set those aside as well.
- Rinse out the pot, and return it to stove. Add butter, and turn heat to medium-low. Add bacon or salt pork, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pork has started to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove pork from fat, and set aside.
- Add onions, garlic, celery, green peppers and carrots to the fat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft but not brown, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in potatoes, and continue cooking until they have just started to soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add 4 cups of clam broth, reserving the rest for another use. Add the sprigs of thyme and the bay leaf.
- Partly cover the pot, and simmer gently until potatoes are tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Using the back of a wooden spoon, smash a few potatoes against the side of the pot to release their starch and help thicken the broth.
- Meanwhile, chop the clams into bits that are about the size of the bacon dice.
- When potatoes are tender, stir in tomatoes, and heat them through. Add chopped clams and reserved bacon, stirring to combine. Add black pepper to taste. Let chowder come to a simmer, and remove from heat. Fish out the thyme and the bay leaf, and discard.
- The chowder should be allowed to sit for a while to cure. Reheat it before serving, then garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with oyster crackers.

I typically serve this chowder with a tossed salad and hot rolls. It is easy to make and tastes wonderful on a cold winter evening. My family has enjoyed it for more than 30 years. -Joan Hopewell, Columbus, New Jersey

MANHATTAN SEAFOOD CHOWDER
This is an excellent recipe given to me by a friend. I've made several adaptations, and love the way the house smells when this is cooking. Serve with a loaf of crusty French Bread, tossed green salad and supper's ready ! And I think Ann D.'s suggestion to add some diced red bell pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce is an excellent idea !!! I've made the changes below.

MANHATTAN SEAFOOD CHOWDER
I found a recipe in Midwest Living for Tomato-Tortellini Soup. I have since modified it into a seafood chowder. My grand-daughters are 3 and 4 and they can't get enough. This soup makes a filling meal along with a crusty dinner roll. This recipe is very simple. You can add or delete any of the vegetables or seafood depending on individual preference.

- Scrub clams well and line a large sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth. In an 8-quart heavy kettle with a lid steam clams in water, covered, stirring occasionally, until they have just opened, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard any unopened clams and drain remainder in lined sieve set over a bowl. Reserve clam juice. Remove two thirds clams from shells (leave remainder in shells).

In kettle cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- In fat remaining in kettle cook onion and garlic over moderate heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes, turnips, fennel, and reserved clam juice and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
