Trego Family Manhattan Clam Chowder

---

This is my grandpop trego's recipie for clam chowder. Grandpop could never make anything in small batches. Make sure you have a very large pot. This makes 5 gallons of chowder. Use salt to adjust to your taste. This can be packaged and put into the freezer for later use.
