Chowders and Gumbo
Sam's traditional chowders are made New England style, with clam broth, cream, clams, potatoes, smoked bacon, onion, and thyme. We don’t thicken our chowders with a ton of flour – so you can enjoy the natural ingredients in a lighter, creamy broth. Enjoy! (Note: New England Clam Chowder is not gluten-free).
