Easy Manhattan Clam Chowder Soup Recipe

I’m was born in New England. We spent our summers at the beach and I was introduced to wonderful, tasty seafood as a young child. 

I’ve always had a love for Manhattan Clam Chowder but never could honestly develop a love for any homemade Manhattan clam chowder recipe until my mom whipped up this easy Manhattan Clam Chowder recipe one evening this summer. 

It’s wonderful!

My kids even enjoyed it. Of course, I didn’t tell them there were clams in the soup until after dinner was over.

How to Make Easy Manhattan Clam Chowder

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bacon, 
  • 1 t of dried thyme
  • 1 c of onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 c of celery, diced
  • 4 c of potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 c of carrots, shredded
  • 5 c of water, hot
  • 3 t of sea salt
  • 1 t of pepper
  • 14 oz can of tomato paste
  • 5 (8 oz) cans of clams, minced
  • 3 c of clam liquid from cans
  • 1 t parsley
  • 1 t thyme

 

Directions

  1. In large pot, saute’ bacon until crisp, removed from pot
  2. Stir in 1 t of thyme, onion, and celery and cook until tender
  3. Add water, potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper and clam liquid
  4. Simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes on low heat
  5. Add tomato paste, simmer for 20 minutes
  6. Add clams, parsley, and 1 t thyme, simmer for 15 minutes
  7. Serve with crumbled bacon on top of soup

TIP: Use water if you can not get a total of 3 c of clam liquid

It’s so simple. 

I recommend doubling the easy Manhattan clam chowder recipe and freezing it for a later date. In fact, I do this we all my soup recipes. I freeze my soup in ziplock bags and lay them flat in the freezer. I simply defrost the soup in the refrigerator the night before. I just place the soup in my slow cooker on low before I leave for work.
