The word "chowder" comes from the same root as the word "cauldron," and refers to the pot in which the soup is made. The precursors of American clam chowder came from England and northern France, but the American colonists were the first to use clams as a main ingredient, due to their easy availability on the Atlantic coast. Clam chowder originated as a working-class one-pot meal among the fishermen of New England. The first printed recipes for clam chowder in America date from the mid-18th century, but chowder has continued to evolve since then.
