Totals for the whole recipe, adding one typical portion per ingredient — listed above. Quantities in the recipe are not counted, so this is a rough guide only — not suitable for medical or dietary planning.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces (425 g ) canned potatoes , or 2 small boiled potatoes
- 28 ounces (794 g) canned tomatoes in juice, or 2 large tomatoes and tomato juice
- 6.5 ounces (184 g) canned chopped clams , minimum
- 2 stalks of celery
Directions
Core the tomatoes. Remove the pale parts and the seeds; the "meat" of the tomato will be what will be used. For canned tomatoes, a strainer will be helpful.
Chop all non-clam ingredients to match the clams in size.
If desired add spices. Suggestions offered include dill seed , basil , thyme , celery seed , tarragon , marjoram , and/or fresh cilantro . Alternatively, oregano can be used in lieu of the marjoram.
Cook the chowder, without boiling, until the celery begins to soften.
