RHODE ISLAND CLAM CHOWDER
Unlike cream- or tomato-based chowders, the Rhode Island version has a clear broth to showcase the briny best in the clams.

Steps:
- Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add clams, cover, and cook just until they open, about 5 minutes (start checking after 4 minutes and discard any chowder clams that have not opened after 6 minutes and quahogs after 7 minutes). Remove clams, and pour broth through a fine sieve into a bowl; reserve 5 cups. Remove clams from shells; roughly chop clams.
- Cook bacon in a medium pot over medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add bacon fat or oil to fat in pot, and reduce heat to medium. Add onion and leek, and saute until softened, about 8 minutes.
- Add wine, and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits. Add potatoes and reserved clam broth. Bring to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are tender. Stir in clams, and season with salt. Serve immediately with crumbled bacon and basil.
RHODE ISLAND CLAM CHOWDER
Clear clam chowder originated along the southern coast of Rhode Island, where it is a local delicacy much to be preferred over the creamier version of Boston to the north and the (to them) criminally tomato-hued style served in Manhattan to the south and west. Eating it recalls the feeling of pulling into Block Island after a long day at sea, scented with salt spray, and sliding into a clean bunk to sleep.

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 the stove. Add butter, and turn heat to medium-low. Add the 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 and celery to the fat, and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in potatoes and wine, and continue cooking until the wine has evaporated and the potatoes have just started to soften, approximately 5 minutes. Add 4 cups of clam broth, reserving the rest for another use. Add the thyme and the bay leaf.
- Partly cover the pot, and simmer gently until potatoes are tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the clams into bits that are about the size of the bacon dice.
- When the potatoes are tender, stir in the chopped clams and reserved bacon. Add black pepper to taste. Let the chowder come just to a simmer, and remove from heat. Fish out the thyme and 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.

Steps:
- Rinse the clams several times under cold running water. Transfer to a large pot and add 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook until the clams open, about 8 minutes. Remove the clams with a slotted spoon and transfer to a deep bowl as they open; cover with plastic wrap so they don't dry out. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Wipe out the pot, then pour the strained broth back into the pot.
- Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large skillet and cover with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook 10 minutes; drain, then return the bacon to the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter and cook until the bacon starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to the pot with the broth. Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the onion and celery to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 6 minutes.
- Add the onion and celery mixture to the broth along with the potatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper.
- While the potatoes are cooking, remove the clams from their shells and roughly chop.
- Add the clams to the soup and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped parsley.

RHODE ISLAND QUAHOG CHOWDA
In Rhode island, clam chowder is prepared with a clear broth, unlike the creamy white clam chowders found elsewhere in New England and also different from the red broth found in Manhattan style clam chowder. And ,oh yes, they use quahogs, a large cousin of the clam.*(If quahogs are unavailable, just use whatever clams you can get.) Adapted from Yankee magazine.

QUAHOG CHOWDER
The clam that Rhode Islanders call a quahog possesses an impressive variety of names, and even the word "quahog" has more than one spelling and a number of pronunciations: KO-hog, KWO-hog, and KWA-hog. Indians used quahog shells to make beads that were used as money (called wampum). Although quahogs can be found along the North American Atlantic coast from Canada's Gulf of Saint Lawrence to Florida, these clams are particularly abundant between Cape Cod and New Jersey. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

RHODE ISLAND RED CHOWDER
Steps:
- Scrub the qauhogs and place them in a large, covered pot with the wine. Steam them for 10 to 15 minutes or until the shells just open. Shuck the quahogs and grind, using a meat grinder or food processor. Strain the cooking liquid through damp cheesecloth - you should have 6 cups. If necessary, add clam broth or fish stock to make up the difference. Finely dice the salt pork. Fry the salt pork slowly in a large pot over low heat to render the fat. Transfer the cracklings with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and celery. Mince the garlic. Tie half of the parsley and the other herbs into a bouquet garnish. Finely chop the remaining parsley. Peel, seed and coarsely chop the tomatoes. Peel and dice the potatoes into a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning. Sauté the onions, celery, garlic and bouquet garnish in the rendered fat over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft but not browned. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, increase the heat to high, and cook for 1 minute. Add the 6 cups of clam liquid and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Just before serving, stir in the quahog meat and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish the chowder with the chopped parsley and the salt pork cracklings and serve at once.

- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place clams in a single layer in a very large pot, and add enough cold water to come up to the back hinge of clams (5 to 6 cups). Cover and bring to a simmer over high. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a low simmer; cook until clams open, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat, and uncover. Let stand until clams are cool enough to handle. Remove clams from pot, reserving broth. Discard any unopened clams. Remove clam meat from shells; finely chop meat, and set aside.
- Using poultry shears, cut through shell hinges. Arrange half shells on an aluminum foil–lined rimmed baking sheet. Pour 2 cups clam broth into a liquid measuring cup, leaving any sand or residue in bottom of pot. Set clam broth aside. Reserve any remaining broth for another use, or discard.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium. Add sausage, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage has plumped and released its red oil, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper to skillet; stir to coat in fat. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring often, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Add chopped clam meat, sausage, breadcrumbs, thyme, and 1 cup reserved clam broth to skillet, and return to heat over medium. Fold to combine; cook just until heated through, about 1 minute. (If mixture is too dry, add remaining 1 cup broth, 1/4 cup at a time, as needed. Mixture should be moist but not wet.) Stir in parsley, salt, and black pepper.

- Rinse and scrub the quahogs under cold running water. Discard any that aren’t tightly closed. Dump the quahogs in a stockpot and cover with 6 cups cold water. Bring to a simmer over medium- to medium-high heat, cover the pot, and cook just until the quahogs open, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove the quahogs from the pot and toss them in a colander or strainer. Discard any quahogs that didn’t open. Cover the stockpot and place over low heat to keep the broth-infused water warm while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- When cool enough to touch, remove the cooked quahog meat from the shells and chop it into 1/8-inch dice. Discard the shells.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the salt pork until the fat renders and the pork is browned and crisp. Transfer the salt pork to a plate and keep the skillet over medium heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re translucent but not golden. Scrape the onions, along with any brown bits stuck to the skillet, into the pot of clam cooking liquid. If necessary, deglaze the skillet with a ladle of broth, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet, and then pour the liquid back into the pot.
- Bring the contents of the pot to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
