January 21st, 2025 is New England Clam Chowder Day

What most in Middle America think of when they think of clam chowder is the New England variety: clams, milk or cream, potatoes, bacon, and onions. This is in contrast to Manhattan chowder, which is a red, tomato-based clam soup. CDK has recipes for both. But we would encourage you to warm your belly the Boston way today, New England Clam Chowder Day!
