Clam Chowder

Clam chowder is a rich, hearty seafood soup that primarily consists of clams, broth, potatoes, onions, and celery. Originating from the eastern coast of North America, this popular dish is available in several regional variations. Home cooks can easily prepare clam chowder by simmering clams, vegetables, and their choice of broth until the flavors meld together. The addition of cream or milk gives it a luscious, thick consistency that is particularly comforting on cold or rainy days.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Clam Chowder expire?
Once you've opened a canned clam chowder, you can keep it refrigerated for about 3 to 4 days. If it is homemade clam chowder, try to consume it within 2 to 3 days of making. If you didn't open your canned soup, the 'best by' date printed on the can would typically be about 2 to 5 years from the production date and indicates when the soup will maintain optimal flavor and quality. As for freezing, you can freeze clam chowder for about 4 to 6 months.
How do you tell if Clam Chowder is bad?
Smelling and looking at your clam chowder is a great way to tell if it's spoiled. You're likely dealing with spoiled soup if it has an off smell, mold appears, or if the texture has become watery or slimy. The presence of an off color, especially a darker shade, can also be an indication of spoilage. As with all foods, when in doubt, throw it out.
Tips for storing Clam Chowder to extend shelf life
• Always seal your clam chowder in an airtight container when storing it in the fridge or freezer. • If freezing, try portioning out the soup into individual servings so you can defrost only what you need. • To defrost, transfer your soup to the fridge and allow it to thaw overnight, or you can use the defrost function on your microwave. • Cool your homemade chowder quickly before storing to slow the growth of bacteria. You can do this by placing the pot in a bath of ice water and stirring the soup. • Try to avoid reheating your clam chowder multiple times as it can degrade the texture and flavor.
