You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

While you wouldn't think there is a huge difference between New England and Manhattan clam chowder, there is. The difference can be told by tasting and its appearance. This is because they have different ingredients. While New England Clam Chowder has that creamy base and often contains potatoes, Manhattan Clam Chowder has a tomato and broth base. It also usually contains celery and onion. Basically one is creamed based and the other is tomato/water based.

You can learn how to make New England Clam Chowder by using this awesome guide that Mahalo has available:
http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-make-new-england-clam-chowder/

According to the instructions, you'll need to prepare and boil about 7lbs of clams. This weight is in their shells. There will be a process of separating the clams from the shell and using a cheesecloth to filter out the sand. You'll want to reserve the broth that you cook the clams in for the chowder. Once you have the clams prepared, you'll have to add in the other ingredients in order and cook and simmer the contains. This process takes about an hour after the clams are prepared. The article link gives full details and step by step instructions that are clear and easy to understand. You can also watch the YouTube video I've include for a visual.

You can find a large amount of different recipes at these sites:
