New England Clam Chowder

A refined interpretation of classic New England clam chowder featuring creamy white chowder with chunks of fresh clams visible, tender diced potatoes, and smoky bacon creating depth. Topped with fresh thyme leaves and crispy bacon bits adding textural contrast. Garnished with oyster crackers arranged artistically, microgreens, and edible flowers. Finished with a cream drizzle and cracked black pepper. Served in a shallow white porcelain bowl with wide rim. Traditional American comfort elevated to fine dining.
