Manhattan Clam Chowder for a Rainy Night

​It has been raining so long in Meadow Sweet Grove ... week after week of it!  The fairies are having a hard time getting their laundry dry and all sorts of smalls are hanging in front of all the little hearths and stoves.  Still, there are signs of Spring in the Grove.  Lots and lots of merry songbirds are flitting about and wee, perky daffodils are cheerfully (and valiantly!) standing up to the rain.  In the meantime, rainy nights make for some great soup nights.


PictureMmm....Manhattan Clam Chowder
This recipe (with slight alterations) is from one of Meadow Sweet Grove's vintage cookbooks and is a very comfy and tasty version of Manhattan Clam Chowder.  Pair with crusty buns and sharp cheese for a perfect rainy night supper!

Manhattan Clam Chowder

1/4 cup finely cut bacon, cooked crisp
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 can whole baby clams
2 cups peeled, diced potatoes
1 cup water
1/3 cup finely diced celery
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. salt (if desired)
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. thyme
2 tsps. parsley


​
Finely chop bacon and fry in frying pan until completely crisp.  Add onion and saute together. Drain clams, reserving liquid and set clams aside.  Add clam liquor, potatoes, water and celery to the onion and bacon. Cook, slightly bubbling, until potatoes are tender - approx. 10-15 min.  Add clams, tomatoes and seasonings.  Heat thoroughly and serve immediately.  Makes approximately 4 servings.

Manhattan Clam Chowder in handy "soup for one" bowl with handle and lid

These little bowls are simply awesome.  Perfect for setting out on the table at each place setting with (or as) the main course. Because they come with lids, the soup is kept piping hot until everyone is ready to join in at the table - and if there are any left-overs, simply pop the lid on top and store in the fridge.  Fun way to serve soup to kids, great for sauces or small portions, and handy for saving any type of leftovers - all without the use of plastic wraps. ​ Gotta love it!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
