Corn And Clam Chowder Recipe


Corn And Clam Chowder Recipe
This is a recipe my mom found from a government posting.. (before the internet).. it's simple, and lends itself well to your own variations.

Ingredients
  • 8 oz Clams (I usually double or triple this... I am just that way..hehe) I like the chopped clams but can use minced or whole
  • 3 Cups Milk (or half/half or cream)
  • 1 Cup water/clam liquid
  • 3 slices bacon (or pancetta.)
  • 1 Cup onions - chopped
  • 2 Cups diced raw potatoes
  • 1-1/2 Cup drained whole kernel corn
  • 2 (or more) Tbspns flour
  • 1 Tbspn butter
  • 1 Tspn celery salt
  • Dash (or more) white pepper
  • Always optional - 3 cloves crushed minced garlic and some green onions

Directions
  1. Drain clams ... save liquid, add water to liquid -> 1 cup
  2. Fry bacon (pancetta) till crisp, then add onions, cook till tender (I usually add the garlic here)
  3. Add potatoes, water/clam liquid, cover and simmer till potatoes are tender.
  4. Add corn and milk.
  5. Blend flour with butter (if you want a thicker chowder, add more flour) stir into pan.
  6. Cook slowly until mixture thickens slightly... stirring constantly.
  7. Add seasonings and clams (here's where I add the thin sliced green onions).
  8. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  9. Ready to serve... but taste even better the next day.
  10. I also like to add a few splashes of Franks extra hot sauce...

That sounds like a great chowder, and the weather is right for that around here (though we are having unusually mild weather at the moment, winter will return very shortly)...the Frank's would definitely be a nice addition. Thanks!


Just one thing....garlic is never optional..Garlic rules!
mmmmmmm


I'm from Newfoundland, Eastern part of Canada and chowder is part of my culture, and i love clam chowder along with lobster and the atlantic part of canada is about fishing. Thank you for the post.
