Classic Comfort: New England Clam Chowder

Sorry Manhattan style, your thin tomatoey broth just can’t satisfy our wintertime hearty comfort food cravings, New England wins our hearts every time.   And here’s a bit of clam chowder trivia for you: in 1939, the state of Maine introduced a law to ban the addition of tomatoes to chowder, considering the act to be a rude gesture against the original legendary recipe!

Chef and fromager Tood Jasmin shares his favorite recipe for a rich classic New England style clam chowder in this video.   The recipe can be found here. We recommend skipping the diner style hexagon crackers and serving it up with a nice warm buttered baguette.    Enjoy!
