To prepare, simply pour the contents of the can into a saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated. Avoid boiling.

How it differs from similar foods
Manhattan clam chowder distinguishes itself from New England clam chowder by its tomato-based broth rather than a cream or milk base. This results in a lighter, tangier flavor profile with a more brothy consistency, highlighting the natural sweetness of the clams and vegetables.
