Title: Clam Chowder
Post by: Still Running on December 19, 2010, 03:22:23 PM
While we were on vacation this past summer, we met a couple who was staying in the campsite next to us. They gave me this recipe and I gave it a try yesterday. It’s really good so I thought I would pass it along.

5 large or 6 medium potatoes
1/2 gallon milk (whole)
1/2 pint heavy cream
36 chowder clams
1 medium onion
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup corn starch
Old bay to taste
 
Mince onion, sauté with 1 stick of butter until clear then set aside.  Clean & steam clams, save liquid and strain.  Use food processor to chop clams.  Combine clams, onion, Worcestershire, butter and clam broth.  Simmer 30 minutes.  Dice & cook potatoes.  Drain & set aside.  Add milk to clam mixture.  Heat to almost a boil.  Add mixture of cornstarch & water to thicken.  Add potatoes & cream.  Allow time for seasoning to work.  Do not add salt.
( I let it sit overnight and it thickened nicely )

Sound delicious, but my Doc would seriously put a thumbs down on the Whole Milk, hvy cream, and butter, but of course that's what makes it taste so gooood.

Sounds incredible! Wintertime smintertime, I think thats good for anytime!

One question! Is there a special clam called a "chowder" clam? or is it whatever clam you can find? Local grocery store has some nice clams on sale from time to time, would they work?
