Coldweatherpotatochowderwithcarawaycheese Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with lightly salted water; bring to a boil. Add onions and carrots; cook until slightly tender, 10 minutes. Add potatoes; cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in salmon, cod, scallops, shrimp, lobster, and crab; cook over medium heat until salmon and cod are firm but chunks are still slightly translucent in the center, about 10 minutes. Drain half the water from the pot and add clams, heavy cream, and half-and-half. Place butter chunks atop the soup; season with salt and black pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until salmon and cod are fully cooked and flake easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the roasted corn off of their cobs, reserving the cobs. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot. Add the corn, the diced vegetables and the seasoning and saute until the vegetables are soft but not browned. Add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the reserved corn cobs. Cook 40 to 45 minutes, remove the cobs and stir in the grated cheese. Serve immediately.;

Steps:

• Sling the butter into a soup kettle and melt over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook till crisp. Scoop out the bacon and drain on paper towels. Save for later--don't nibble too much.
• Pour off all but 1/4 cup of fat from the pot. Toss in the onions and peppers, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook till soft and then throw in the garlic, cooking it all for 1 minute more. Sprinkle on the flour and mix into the veggies. Dump in the broth and potatoes. Cover the pot and bring to a boil; then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or till the potatoes are tender. Add the shredded carrots and corn. Cover and simmer everything 5 to 6 minutes longer to blend the flavors.
• Stir in the half-and-half. Season with the thyme, cayenne, some more salt, and lots of freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and the bacon bits you've been saving. Give it one last stir, and ladle it up piping hot.

Steps:

• Saute bacon in a big soup pot over medium heat until browned and crisp, 3-4 minutes.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
• Pour out and discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
• Add in onion and celery to drippings in the pot; cook/stir often, until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add in diced potatoes; saute for 2 minutes.
• Add in garlic; saute/stir for 1 minute.
• Add in chicken stock and milk to pot; bring mixture to a simmer.
• Cook at a simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
• Do not let soup come to a boil (soup can be prepared to this point 1 day ahead; cool, cover, and refrigerate; reheat on low heat and proceed with recipe).
• When ready to serve, add the cheese, a little at a time, to the hot soup, stirring until melted after each addition.
• In a small bowl, mix the butter and flour with a fork to make a paste.
• Whisk this mixture into the soup, a little at a time, and cook until completely blended, for 1-2 minutes.
• Taste soup; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed.
• To serve--ladle soup into 4 bowls, sprinkle each serving with chopped bacon and chives.

Steps:

• Cut corn from each cob, then hold cob upright in a bowl and scrape with knife to extract "milk."
• Bring cobs, water, potatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a large pot, covered, then boil, covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Discard cobs.
• Meanwhile, cook onion, carrot, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is pale golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add bell pepper, corn and its "milk," thyme, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
• Stir in potatoes with water and cream and gently boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 7 cups, about 30 minutes. Stir in scallions, white pepper, cayenne, and salt to taste. Discard bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Steps:

• With a mortar and pestle or in an electric coffee or spice grinder coarse 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously grease six 2/3-cup popover tins or nine 1/2-cup muffin tins.
• In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and water and add butter in a stream, whisking. Add flour and salt and whisk mixture until combined well but still slightly lumpy, whisking ground caraway seeds into batter. Divide half of batter among tins and sprinkle 1/4 cup Gruyère and whole caraway seeds over popovers. Bake popovers in lower third of oven 45 minutes. Cut a slit about 1/2 inch long on top of each popover with a small sharp knife and bake 10 minutes more.
