Clam Chowder
Resembles Manhattan more, I'd love to see the reaction of some old Mainer trying this. It's damn good
Bring 8 quartered potatoes and 2 diced tomatoes to a boil in 1.5 qts water, add:
Bring back up to a boil for 5 minutes, take off the heat and add a pint of milk and the clams. It's good by itself or you could you could serve it over wild rice or something.

For the Clams, take a 10 inch bowl pour boiling water over them for just a minute (to make them open up), then pour cool water over them so they don't get tough. cut up and get rid of any entrails. Alternatively you could use 3 cans of pre-cooked, diced clams.
