Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon EVOO
1/3 pound lean bacon, chopped
4 large ears corn on the cob, kernels cut off and cobs scraped
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 to 4 small ribs celery with leafy tops, chopped
2 fresh bay leaves
2 jalapeno or Fresno chiles, chopped or thinly sliced
1 red onion, chopped
4 cups chicken stock
3 to 4 heirloom tomatoes, chopped
4 pounds littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 lager beer
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Hot sauce, for serving
3 English muffins, chopped into bite-size cubes
1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the chowder: In a soup pot or a Dutch oven, heat the EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook until the kernels are lightly browned at the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the seafood seasoning, thyme, garlic, celery, bay leaves, chiles and onions, and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat.
  • For the croutons: Arrange the English muffin cubes on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden. Melt the butter with the hot sauce. Place the croutons in a bowl and toss with the parsley, seafood seasoning and the butter mixture. Return to the rack set over the baking sheet and bake until deeply golden. Let cool.
  • To finish the chowder: Place the clams and beer in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, and season with sea salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then cook at a rapid simmer until the clams open, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard any unopened clams.
  • Divide the clams and the cooking liquid among 4 shallow bowls. Ladle the corn chowder over top and garnish with the croutons. Serve with hot sauce.
  • Cook's Notes: You can make the chowder base up to 5 days ahead. Cool and store in the refrigerator, then reheat over a medium flame. Buy the clams within 48 hours of serving and cook them just before you're ready to serve.
  • You can store the croutons in an airtight container or in a foil pouch until ready to use.

CLAM AND CORN CHOWDER

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 celery rib, washed and diced
4 ears corn, husked and kernels removed
6 baby red new potatoes, unpeeled, washed and diced
1 quart clam juice
1 cup dry white wine
3 1/2 pounds Littleneck clams, Manila clams or Cockles in the shell
1 Italian Roma tomato, cored, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, if desired
1 bunch cilantro, leaves only, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large stockpot over moderate heat. Saute the onions for 10 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, corn and potatoes and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour in the clam juice. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the white wine to a boil in a large saucepan and reduce by one-third. Add the clams, cover and steam, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open up, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and discard any that do not open. Remove the cover and let the clams cool in the pot. When cool enough to handle, separate the meat from the shells, reserving the juice, and chop the clams. Set aside. Reserve the cooking liquid.
  • Add the tomato, red pepper and jalapeno to the soup pot and cook over low heat an additional 10 minutes. Strain the reserved cooking juices and clam juice through a fine kitchen towel or coffee filter into the soup. Add the chopped clams and cook 10 more minutes. Stir in the cilantro, lime juice and pepper. Taste for salt, since the clams may be salty, and serve steaming hot.

CORN AND CLAM CHOWDER



Corn And Clam Chowder image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 ears shucked fresh corn on the cob, or 5 cups canned, well-drained or frozen whole-kernel corn
60 littleneck clams, the smaller the better
1 large carrot, about 5 ounces, trimmed and scraped
2 ribs celery, trimmed
1 onion, about 1/2 pound
6 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
2 cups dry white wine
8 cups rich chicken broth, preferably homemade, although canned broth may be used
5 cups heavy cream
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons butter
2 small hot red or green peppers, stems removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • If fresh corn on the cob is used, cut each ear crosswise into thirds. Set aside.
  • Rinse the clams well and put them in a kettle.
  • Cut the carrot lengthwise in half. Cut each half crosswise into thin slices. There should be about one cup. Add this to the clams.
  • Coarsely chop the celery. There should be about one cup. Add this to the clams.
  • Coarsely chop the onion. There should be about one and one-half cups. Add the onion, thyme and wine to the clams.
  • Put the kettle over high heat and cover closely with a lid. Bring to the boil and cook until the clams open, about three minutes.
  • Line another kettle with a sieve and line the sieve with cheesecloth. Or use a sieve of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois.
  • Pour the clams, vegetables and liquid into the sieve. There should be about two and one-half cups of liquid. Add the chicken broth to the clam liquid and bring to the boil.
  • Meanwhile, remove the meat from the clams and set aside. Unless the meat pieces are small, cut the pieces in half. Discard the shells.
  • Add the strained vegetables to the clam and chicken broth. If corn on the cob is used, add it to the kettle and cook about five minutes and add four cups of the cream. Bring to the boil. Add salt and pepper and let simmer about 20 minutes.
  • If corn on the cob has been used, remove the pieces of corn from the kettle, using a pair of tongs. When the pieces of corn are cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs. There should be about five cups. Add this or the canned or frozen corn to the kettle. Pour the mixture, one portion at a time, into the container of a food processor or, preferably, an electric blender and blend. Combine the blended soup in a kettle and add one tablespoon of the lime juice, salt and pepper. There should be about 16 cups of soup. Add the meat from the clams.
  • Bring the soup to the boil and swirl in the butter.
  • Chop the peppers coarsely. There should be about three tablespoons. Put the peppers in the container of an electric blender. Add the remaining lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, salt and pepper. Blend as finely as possible. This is to be used as a garnish for the soup.
  • Whip the remaining one cup of cream and add the blended pepper and lime juice mixture. Blend well.
  • Serve the hot soup in 12 individual bowls and top each serving with an equal portion of the whipped cream mixture.
