Clam chowder is a creamy, hearty soup traditionally rooted in New England cuisine. Made with clams, potatoes, onions, celery, and often a base of heavy cream or milk, it’s a comforting dish popular in coastal regions. Some recipes use bacon for added flavor, lending a smoky richness to the soup. The clams provide a good source of protein and essential nutrients such as B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Potatoes contribute fiber and vitamins like C and B6. However, the creamy base and added salt can make clam chowder higher in calories and sodium. While deliciously indulgent, moderation is key for balancing its nutritional profile. Variations like Manhattan-style chowder, which uses a tomato-based broth, offer a lighter alternative. Clam chowder remains a beloved classic for its rich flavors and satisfying texture.
