CLAM CHOWDER

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 cups clam juice
2 pounds baking potatoes, like russets, peeled and diced
4 pounds fresh or frozen clams, shelled and diced
1/4 pound salt pork, diced
2 small onions, diced
1 cup butter
1 cup flour
2 pints half-and-half
Salt and pepper
Dash hot pepper sauce
Dash Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Bring the potatoes and the clam juice to the boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the clams and any of their liquid. Cook about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add the pork to a saute pan and cook over low heat until rendered. Add the onions and cook until transparent. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the flour and cook until slightly colored. Add a bit more flour if necessary if the mixture is too soft. Bring the clams, juice and potatoes back to the boil. Gradually stir in the cooked roux. Bring to a rolling boil to thicken. Stir continuously while cooking. Beat the half-and-half and add to the soup. It may not be necessary to use all the half-and-half; the soup should be thick. Adjust the seasoning and add a dash of hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Use a good quality fish stock. The fish stock is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can make your own fish stock, or you can use a store-bought stock.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Be sure to cook them just until they are opaque.
  • Add the vegetables at the end. The vegetables should be added to the chowder at the end so that they don't overcook.
  • Season to taste. Season the chowder to taste with salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

Boudin clam chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your chowder thick or thin, creamy or brothy, there's a recipe in this article that's sure to please you.
