New England chowder

Milk-based clam soup

New England chowder is a thick, creamy soup typically made with clams, potatoes, onions, and salt pork or bacon in a milk or cream base.

The style originated in coastal New England and stands in contrast to Manhattan chowder, which uses a tomato base instead of cream: She ordered a bowl of New England chowder at the waterfront restaurant.
