For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider sautéing the onions and carrots in a bit of olive oil before adding them to the broth. Fresh parsley can be substituted for dried parsley, use double the amount. To prevent the clams from becoming rubbery, avoid boiling the chowder after they have been added. Reheat gently over low heat. A dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick to this chowder.
