New England Clam Chowder Soup in a Bread Bowl image

I loved this chowder. It was savory, creamy and very hearty. This recipe is close to one of my favorite chowders I used to enjoy in Boston. The perfect dish to warm you up on a cold winter's day. We used 8 oz bottles of clam juice and a 14 oz can of broth when making this chowder.

Number Of Ingredients 18

bread round loaves of rye or sour dough. (i use small individual loaves for each person)
1/4 c salad oil
1 tsp garlic minced
4 strips of bacon fried (and chopped)
1 c celery, diced
1 c carrots, diced
1 c onions, diced
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano

Steps:

  • 1. In large pot saute the oil and garlic about 2 minutes. Add diced vegetables and saute for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add herbs and salt and pepper. Add clam stock and chicken broth bring to a boil. Add potatoes and bring to a boil again. Add roux and chopped clams, and half and half reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
