Clam chowder is a hearty seafood soup, often associated with New England cuisine in the United States. Its creamy base is typically made from milk or heavy cream combined with a roux for thickness. The main ingredients include fresh clams, potatoes, onions, and celery, with variations sometimes adding bacon or herbs like thyme for flavor. Nutritionally, clam chowder offers a good source of protein from the clams and essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, iron, and selenium. However, the cream and butter used can make the dish high in saturated fat and calories, so moderation is key. Opting for lighter versions using reduced-fat milk or broth can make it a healthier choice while preserving its comforting and rich flavor.
