Clam broth. Take hard or soft clams and wash well. Put in vessel with just water enough to cover, a little salt and a small piece of raw celery. Boil for fifteen minutes, and strain through cheese cloth.

Clam broth, Chantilly. Serve whipped cream separate, or on top of each cup.

Consomme en Bellevue. Half chicken broth and half clam broth mixed. Serve in cups with whipped cream on top.

Clam chowder. Chop two onions, one leek, a piece of celery and one green onion in small pieces, also cut one-half pound of salt pork in small squares. Put all together in a vessel with two ounces of butter and simmer till well done. Then add one gallon of stock or fish broth, four potatoes cut in half inch squares, salt, pepper, a little paprika, one teaspoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of chopped thyme, a little chopped parsley, and four peeled tomatoes cut in small dices; or chopped canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil and let cook for about one hour. Put one hundred well-washed Little Neck clams in a separate vessel and put on fire with one-half glass of water and boil for ten minutes. Strain the broth and add to the chowder. Remove the clams from the shells, cut in four pieces and add to the chowder with one cup of cracker meal, and boil for four minutes. Serve with broken crackers.

Lobster chowder. Same as clam chowder with the exception of lobster cut in small dices instead of the clams.
