New England Clam Chowder is my favorite. Lugnut Sep 2012 #9
I like both home-style New England chowders (which are NOT Boston chowders) Gormy Cuss Sep 2012 #11
Yeah, in my neck of New England (on the coast, Mass / NH border) chowder was unthickened. pinto Sep 2012 #12
Yup, that simple. Gormy Cuss Sep 2012 #13
what ingredients do you think of in Boston chowder? nt grasswire Oct 2012 #15
Cream, flour, butter, small diced potatoes, minced clams with juices, a little grated onion Gormy Cuss Oct 2012 #16
I like both but they have to be homemade. Canned clam chowder doesn't cut it. no_hypocrisy Oct 2012 #17

I love BOTH styles. Mostly I eat Manhattan style these days because of the veggies and no cream. kestrel91316 Oct 2012 #24
I can see folks wanting to avoid the cream. There's a New England off-shoot pinto Oct 2012 #25
Sorry. I wouldn't eat soup with broccoli or brussels sprouts in it if you paid me. kestrel91316 Oct 2012 #26
LOL. My favorite Brussels sprouts are halved, drenched in olive oil and grilled. pinto Oct 2012 #27
Mine: Halved, pan braised, and dressed lightly with balsamic vinegar. kestrel91316 Oct 2012 #28
