We love seafood chowders and tried having it as much as possible while in Florida just recently. On our way through South Carolina we also discovered She-Crab soup - yummy!Rosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615262714438296920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-7337316949379593632018-03-27T11:52:58.178-07:002018-03-27T11:52:58.178-07:00Chicken broth and bacon in New England Clam Chowde...Chicken broth and bacon in New England Clam Chowder?? I am guessing those were just added to use more of the store products. My father's grandparents settled here from Boston and my father's mother is also a Boston girl. Every Friday night was clam chowder for dinner. My Grandma did often use salt pork in her cooking to fry up the onions etc but that is not bacon. <br /><br />I am sure there could be regional variations...I am just familiar with Boston clam chowder.

Thanks for sharing. I think that the reason that chicken stock is used in this recipe is that it is more affordable. I'll be adding a pat of butter to my soup next time!

I am a native Bay Stater and New England clam chowder is never made with chicken stock, celery, garlic or carrots. Missing is the clam juice/broth, butter. The potatoes are never mashed, simply cubed and simmered in the clam juice/cream "broth" of the soup. Must be served with a pat of butter placed in the finished soup pot is melted. Oyster crackers or saltines in a pinch, accompany.CTMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825780992878036362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-30757904674077173182018-03-27T05:39:41.633-07:002018-03-27T05:39:41.633-07:00German Butter Potatoes, if these are also known as...German Butter Potatoes, if these are also known as German Butterball Potatoes, as wonderful. We usually buy the 1 to 2 inch size and grill them at least once a week during the summer. Grew some in our garden last year that we let get bigger. They kept well for a few months in our basement storage space. Great boiled, mashed, and smashed toasted. Really a great variety of potato.<br />Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127440931416786115noreply@blogger.com
