50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Clam Chowder from Oregon
Oregon’s bounty of shellfish begs for delicious ways to enjoy it, and one dish stands out as a local legend: Oregon Chowder. Forget New England’s creamy version; this is a bolder, smokier beast.
In a simmering pot brimming with juicy clams, we have plump and briny clams from the Pacific coast, chunks of smoky bacon, potatoes that soak up the rich broth, and a symphony of vegetables. But the real kicker is the broth itself. Oregon Chowder has a tangy tomato base, often spiced with paprika. The resulting bold, smoky chowder is bursting with the essence of the Oregon coast.
