New England, or Manhattan?
When I'm not watching my weight and carb intake, it's a thick, creamy, white, New England Clam Chowder for me. But, when I'm being more health conscious, then I'm always surprised at how tasty and satisfying Manhattan Clam Chowder is. It's really a toss up for me. What's your fave? Got a good recipe for it?

I'd rather skip the chowdah than have Manhattan style, I don't know why? I love a plain tomato bisque, with fresh herbs...but not Manhattan clam chowder. I've never made chowder, shame on my East Coast childhood! I do make a decent white clam sauce, tho'.

New England please, but it should not be thick. Not any thicker than heavy cream. I hate when you order it in a restaurant and it comes out like a white sauce. It should not be thickened with flour. (yes, I am a purist from New England!!)
