New Englanders claim to have invented this hearty all-white clam chowder. It evolved from a fisherman's dish, made up of layers of salt pork, fish and dough, all cooked up in a large kettle. Then, milk was added to the mixture to make it more of a stew, clams replaced the fish, and potatoes were swapped for the dough to create this soup. To finish off this famous chowder, sprinkle with paprika, fresh chives, parsley, tarragon or dill.
1/4 cup cut-up bacon or lean salt pork
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 (6 1/2-ounce) cans minced clams, drained and liquid reserved
1 medium potato, diced (about 2 cups)
Dash of pepper
2 cups milk
