Manhattan Clam Chowder is a tomato-based clam soup that originated in Rhode Island, but is now commonly found throughout the United States. It is similar to New England Clam Chowder, but lacks the milk or cream, giving it a lighter texture. The soup is known for its savory and briny flavor that comes from the use of canned clams, and the addition of vegetables like onion, celery, and carrots. It's a comforting soup that is perfect for a cozy night in.

Instructions

1.In a large pot, sauté the onions and celery (if using) in a small amount of oil until softened.
2.Add the canned clams with the juice, chopped tomatoes with the juice, cubed potato, chopped carrot, and thyme or marjoram to the pot.
3.Season the mixture with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
4.Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
5.Serve the chowder hot, topped with crumbled bacon (if using) and oyster crackers (if desired).
