Manhattan Style Conch Chowder

There are 2 types of conch chowder I like Manhattan (tomato based) and New England (creamy). For conch, the spicey tomato based wins hands down. I have served this conch chowder to people who don't like conch all that much and they went back for seconds. If you are luck to find conch meat, you gotta try this.
