I have to agree with the last reviewer. Clams are not quahogs. One has a soft shell while the other has a hard shell. Different flavor and meat. Take it from me...14th generation Rhode Islander. Rhode Island Quahog Chowder has a clear broth. This is a very nice clam chowder recipe though! I will try it with clams! Jelly :) -
NO NO NO! As usual, never believe a politician! The true, authentic and traditional RI quahog chowder NEVER contains dairy or tomato products, relying only on a bit of cornstarch to thicken it if necessary. Milk or cream are added for tourists who really don't like shellfish, and tomatos are strictly for Yankees fans. As any Vo'Dilunduh will tell ya, clearbroth chowda is WICKED AWESOME! -
sorry, I didn't put my rating! This really is a very good clam chowder and I will make it part of my cookbook.
