Stashcook | Instant Pot Manhattan Clam Chowder

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp of salted butter
• 1 medium onion, minced (a food processor or blender will help with this)
• 2 celery stalks, sliced and finely chopped (with leafy tops reserved)
• 1 lb of Idaho/Russet potatoes (about 2 of them), peeled and diced
• 4 oz of diced pancetta (optional)
• 1 cup of clam (or vegetable or chicken) broth (I used 1 tsp of Clam Better Than Bouillon + 1 cup of water)
• 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
• 3 (6.5 oz) cans of chopped clams, separating and reserving the juice from the clams
• 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
• 1/2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning
• 1/2 tsp of black pepper
• 1/8 – 1/2 tsp of Zatarain’s Concentrated Crab & Shrimp Boil (optional and a little goes a long way so don’t go above a 1/2 tsp)
• Oyster Crackers, for topping
