4 clove garlic
1/3 c butter
2 bottle clam juice, 8 oz
3 can(s) whole baby clams, 10 oz.
2 can(s) chicken broth, 14.5 oz
1/4 c flour
2 c milk
2 Tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp liquid smoke

Steps:

  • 1. Cut bacon into 1/2″ pieces. Rinse leek under cold water; cut off root end and slice in half. Cut into 1/2″ pieces. Rinse celery and cut into 1/2″ pieces. Clean garlic and mince finely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams if possible. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams are a good option.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams are delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque.
  • Use a good quality clam broth. The clam broth is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a clam broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add vegetables to your chowder. Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion add flavor and texture to your chowder. You can also add other vegetables, such as corn, peas, or leeks.
  • Season your chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of lemon juice or white wine.

Conclusion:

New England clam chowder is a classic dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. By following these tips, you can make a chowder that is sure to impress your friends and family.
