Cape Cod Clam Chowder

This is the way my mother would make chowder for us when there were plenty of clams to use up. Alternatively, she would use mussels, which also worked really well. This soup is simple, but deliciously comforting on a cold winter’s evening, and you can jazz it up, as my mum used to do, by adding a little saffron or other spices to the mix.
