Red And White Clam Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and saute until softened, mixing often. Stir in the flour to distribute evenly. Add the stock, juice from 2 cans of chopped clams (reserve clams), cream, bay leaves, and potatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring consistently (the mixture will thicken), then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 20 minutes, stirring often, until the potatoes are nice and tender. Then add clams and season to taste with salt and pepper, cook until clams are just firm, another 2 minutes.;
• Melt the butter in a large skillet and toss the bread cubes in the butter until browned and toasted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper.;

Steps:

• Cut the onion, carrot, celery and green pepper in large pieces. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade chop the vegetables finely.
• In a small soup pot brown the bacon lightly for 3 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 2 minutes more over low heat.
• Scrape the chopped vegetables into the pot with a rubber spatula and reassemble the processor. Saute the vegetables for 5 minutes over low heat.
• Sprinkle in the flour and cook the roux stirring for 3 minutes.
• Pour the reserved clam liquor in a 4-cup measure and add water or clam nectar to equal 1 1/4 cup. Pour into the pot and mix with the roux.
• Stir in the milk and potatoes and simmer over low heat covered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pulse the tomatoes (I pinch off the stem end and remove any extraneous peel) with their juice and the clams in the processor for 5 seconds.
• Pour the tomato-clam mixture in the pot and simmer covered over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Off heat, add the Worcestershire, thyme, Tabasco, salt (I use about 3/4 teaspoon) and pepper to taste.
• Let the soup rest about 15 min off heat before serving.

Steps:

• First, shuck the clams and remove the bellies. Clean the clams and then chop them into small pieces. Put to the side until ready to add to the pot.
• Heat the butter in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the celery and sweet onion and cook, mixing often, until they begin to soften. Next, sprinkle in the salt, black pepper and seafood boil seasoning. Add the self-rising flour to make a roux. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the clams and clam juice.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon and finely chop. Add to the pot. Add the potatoes along with the scallions. Stir to combine. Lastly, add the milk and half-and-half. Stir to warm. Serve in a bowl with parsley as a garnish.

Steps:

• Dice up bacon into small pieces and render in a large stock pot over med-low heat.
• Once bacon has started to turn brown, add the onions and sprinkle with the 1 oz of salt.
• Once the onions get soft and start to turn brown, add the leaks and celery, turn up the heat to med-high and sauté for a couple of minutes until they get tender.
• Add the potatoes, clam base, chopped clams, clam juice, and the thyme.
• Bring to a low simmer, and maintain the simmer until the potatoes are cooked.
• Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil.
• When it starts to boil, add the roux 2 oz at a time, letting the chowder come back to a boil before adding more roux. Make sure you are stirring the entire time here.
• When all the roux is added or the chowder reaches the thickness you like, add the remaining salt and pepper to your taste.
• Please taste it before you add any additional seasoning. Don't add it all just because it lists it in the ingredients. I put the numbers in because I had to and I don't remember just how much to add.
• I recommend serving with some good thick sliced sourdough bread and a few drops of green Tabasco sauce.
