I Heart Clam Chowder
One of my favorite soups is Clam Chowder. YUM! Back in February and March our menu plan had a whole week where we ate different soups for dinner. The Clam Chowder was my favorite! I found a really great recipe that I loved and thought I would share it with you too.
Clam Chowder
Ingredients:
3 slices turkey bacon, diced
1 cup chopped onion
3 cups diced potatoes
1 bottle (8 ounces) clam juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (approximately 7 ounces each) minced clams
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
I did not use any clam juice. I used just the cans of clams and then rinsed out the cans with water. It was plenty clammy too!
Prep and Cook:
Cook bacon until crisp in a Dutch oven or large, heavy saucpan. Remove bacon to paper towels with slotted spoon; drain. Add onion to bacon drippings; sauté until softened. Add potatoes and clam juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. Add minced clams with their liquid. Whisk flour into milk; add to chowder with half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until clam chowder thickens and bubbles, or about 3 minutes.
Clam chowder recipe serves 4.
This clam chowder is so good! I absolutely loved it! I think I am going to put it on the menu for this next week! Its really good with homemade rolls too!
What is your favorite soup?
