Clam Chowder

Razor clams add a distinct coastal flavor to chowder. Keep cooking time controlled so the clam pieces stay tender.

Prepare the Clams

Clean the clams thoroughly and chop them into bite-size pieces. Reserve any clean clam liquid if you want additional clam flavor in the broth.

Build the Chowder

Cook aromatics, add potatoes and broth, and simmer until the potatoes are tender before finishing with dairy or your preferred creamy base.

Add Clams Near the End

Razor clams can become tough when overcooked. Stir them in near the end and cook only until heated through.
