StephieCanCookNew England Clam Chowder Stuck in the Midwest
I'm half "New Englander", on my dad's side, and as such I LOVE a good clam chowder, but alas I am stuck in the Midwest and there isn't a good, fresh clam in sight.
And CANNED clam chowder? Please don't get me started on that abomination! 😂
A good clam chowder should be thick, and creamy. And if there isn't at least a little clam in nearly every bite it ain't worth it.
Now, nothing beats a chowder with fresh clams, but if you're like me and stuck where truly fresh seafood is a rarity (or outrageously expensive) you'll appreciate the flavors of this chowder. Better yet, you'll truly appreciate what little effort it takes to prepare!
Ingredient
2 cloves
garlic - minced
4 tbs
unsalted butter
1/3 cup
all purpose flour
1 (12 oz)
can evaporated milk
2-2 1/2 cups
milk
1/4 tsp
celery seed
to taste
salt and pepper
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Place potatoes and carrots in a medium saucepan. Add water to about 1/2 inch above veggies. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer until just fork tender. About 10 minutes.
* Step 2
When veggies are done drain in colander and set aside. Return pan to medium heat. Add butter, when melted add onion. Sautée onion until translucent. About 2 minutes. Add garlic. Sautée 1 minute more. Always stirring frequently.
* Step 3
Add flour. Cook 2 minutes, wisking constantly. Wisk in clam juice, evaporated milk, and milk. Bring to a simmer, wisking constantly to prevent clumping and sticking.
* Step 4
Simmer until broth resembles a thin gravy. Add celery seed and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently stir in clams, potatoes, and carrots.
* Step 5
Reduce heat to medium low and cook 5 minutes more. If you'd like the soup a little thinner add up to 1/2 cup more milk. Dish up and enjoy!
