Didn't know there were so many versions of #ClamChowder. I just knew about New England and Manhattan.
@ATXJane From what I've read about these chowders, the creamy white ones are basically a white sauce (bechamel, I think the word is), that stuff is added to.
I don't see why you couldn't use half white sauce, half broth, cubed potatoes, and then whatever you want. Celery, onions. Beans instead of meat to make it vegetarian.
I don't know what vegan milk would work with that. Maybe a nut milk?

Excellent suggestions! Thank you.
