MANHATTEN STYLE CLAM CHOWDER 2 (1 lb.) cans tomatoes 1 large diced onion 2 1/2 c. diced celery 7 to 8 carrots, diced 8 medium potatoes, cubed 2 1/2 Tbsp. thyme 3 cans minced clams with juice 3 bottles clam juice 1/2 c. ketchup 1/4 c. mustard 3 dried chili peppers or 1 tsp. Tabasco sauce 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt 2 tsp. black pepper Cook in large 6 quart pot for 3 to 4 hours. Do not add potatoes until last hour of cooking to avoid overdoneness of potatoes. They should be firm, not mushy. Drain juice from clams and use in soup. Refrigerate clams and add to soup the last 1/2 hour of cooking. Cooking clams too long can make them become too chewy and tough.
