What famous soup is in New England?

While there are variations, the classic New England Clam Chowder is a creamy, white soup made with:

* Clams: Usually quahogs or cherrystone clams

* Milk or cream: For richness and texture

* Potatoes: For substance

* Onions: For flavor

* Salt pork or bacon: For savory depth

* Butter: For richness

* Salt and pepper: For seasoning

It's typically served hot, often with oyster crackers or a dollop of sour cream on top.
