From a Seattle newspaper article comes the recipe for the famous Ivar's Clam Chowder. Ivar, sadly departed, was a longtime icon in Seattle's history.

I chose to omit the onions and celery because neither my husband or I like that in our soup. I think by doing this, it made the soup less flavorful. If I make it again, I will use some onion powder and maybe some other seasonings so it isn't so bland. Also, the recipe doesn't say anything about how long to let it cook at the end so the clams are done. I let it boil for a few minutes but the clams were a little chewy and I couldn't tell if they were cooked enough. I didn't feel comfortable feeding it to my 2 year old son or myself since I'm pregnant. =/ Other than that it's a great recipe that I will work on a bit to make even better! =)

Was at Ivars last week. I wanted to reproduce the chowder (which I believe is called "white" not "clam" but that is a distinction without a difference). Anyway, I made this chowder and was not particularly impressed.
Ivars chowder was thicker, there were chunks not finely chopped potatoes, had considerably more clams and something was definitely missing. My feeling, don't laugh, was a mild garlic taste. There was also a complexity that was certainly not in this recipe.
First I added a bay leaf to the vegetables while cooking. Then, I roasted a clove of garlic, smashed it into a paste and added it, and added about 3 teaspoons of chicken better than boullion. It was certainly closer albeit not completely the same.
Still, a good recipe nonetheless.
