Apparently there's a big dinner party in November. Ditto December. Both of which take up a lot of energy. But what if you want to host a nice brunch in between those two? One that doesn't include ham or turkey? The solution is quintessential New England clam chowder. You can make it in advance; and come party time, just grab a ladle. It's low-key, the way the rest of your holidays should be.
