A delicious, traditional, cream based chowder,
this recipe calls for the standard chowder
ingredients: onion, celery, potatoes, diced
carrots, clams, and cream. A little red wine
vinegar is added before serving for extra
flavor.
3 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams
1 cup minced onion
1 cup diced celery
2 cups cubed potatoes
1 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
ground black pepper to taste
1. Drain juice from clams into a large skillet
over the onions, celery,
potatoes and carrots. Add water to cover, and
cook over medium heat until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, melt
the butter over medium heat. Whisk in
flour until smooth. Whisk in cream and stir
constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in
vegetables and clam juice. Heat through, but do
not boil.
3. Stir in clams just before serving. If they
cook too much they get tough. When clams
are heated through, stir in vinegar, and season
with salt and pepper.
