What’s In Clam Chowder?
This recipe has super simple ingredients, most of which you will already have in your kitchen! See the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements!
- Bacon: The bacon really add the most amazing extra flavor to this recipe!
- Onion: You need the onion for some added flavor.
- Celery: Dice up your celery and put it in the chowder for an added crunch.

- Half and half: This is what will start to make your base of your chowder nice and creamy.
- Russet potatoes: Peel these up and dice them before adding them to the chowder.
- Salt and pepper: Add as much or little of these seasonings as you would like, just until it tastes just right to you!

What are the different types of clam chowder?
You may hear clam chowder called Boston clam chowder, New England clam chowder, or Manhattan clam chowder. So what’s the difference? Boston and New England clam chowder are two names that describe the same type of clam chowder! New England (or Boston) clam chowder is a creamy or broth-based chowder made with potatoes, vegetables, and clams. This recipe fits that description.

I am using salmon fillets because I love oily fish and my partner really likes this particular type of fish. You can use any other part of salmon, like salmon steaks which are cheaper, or any other fish that suits your budget and location. You can also make this with prawns or chicken instead of fish. For prawns, start baking the vegetables earlier and add the prawns in the last 5 minutes as they don’t need much time to cook. For chicken, it’s the other way around. Slice the chicken fillets into thinner strips and bake for 5 minutes before adding the vegetables, then cook for 15 more minutes together, so a total of 20 minutes for thin strips of chicken.
