rhode island clam chowder
(1 RATING)
I was doing some research on Rhode Island foods and found tis recipe online. It sounds very good,as soon as the weather cools, I will be making this! According to the info I found,traditional Rhode Island clam chowder has clear broth. This traditional clear chowder generally contains quahogs, broth, potatoes, onions, and bacon. In some parts of the state, a red chowder is served as Rhode Island clam chowder. This red chowder has a tomato broth base and potatoes; unlike Manhattan red chowder, it does not have chunks of tomato, and does not contain other vegetables (such as carrots or beans).
