OYSTER CHOWDER



Oyster Chowder image

This oyster chowder was one of Amanda Hesser's grandmother's standbys, a recipe untouched over generations and passed along to The Times in 2005. If you have oysters, the rest is fairly straight-forward: Bacon adds smokiness, while milk and potatoes lend creaminess. And, as if that weren't appealing enough, the whole thing is ready in 30 minutes or less.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 pound bacon, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery hearts
3 white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
14 to 16 large oysters and their liquor
Salt
Cayenne pepper
2/3 to 1 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Spread bacon in a soup pan and place over medium heat. Cook until browned and its fat has rendered. Drain. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat and put pan back on the heat. Scrape the onion and celery into the pan and saute until softened. Drop in the potatoes. Add enough water to cover, about 3 cups. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 15 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat and, using a masher, lightly crush the potatoes to thicken the chowder. Add the oysters and oyster liquor and season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. Simmer until the oysters curl, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the milk (use 2/3 cup if you prefer it less rich), bring to a boil, then shut off the heat. Crumble in the bacon and stir in the parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't overcook the oysters. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and tender.
  • Use a good quality fish stock. This will add depth of flavor to the chowder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery, to the chowder. You can also add different herbs and spices, such as thyme, bay leaves, or paprika.
  • Serve the chowder hot with crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Oyster and spinach chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chowder a try. You won't be disappointed!
