Category: Seafood, Soups

 Ingredients List

  • -----WALDINE VAN GEFFEN
  • -VGHC42A-----
  • 4 qt Littleneck clams, scrub well
  • 1 c Water
  • 1 Clove garlic, mice
  • 2 oz Salt pork, chop fine
  • 2 c Onions, chop
  • 3 tb All-purpose flour
  • 4 1/2 c Clam broth
  • 3 c Fish stock
  • 1 1/2 lb Potatoes; peel, dice
  • 2 c Light cream
  • Oyster crackers, opt

 Directions

In a large covered saucepot over med-high heat, heat the water to boiling.
Add the clams and garlic and cook for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the clams
have just opened. Drain the clams, reserving the broth. Strain the broth
through coffee filters or several layers of cheesecloth to remove any
traces of grit. Remove the clams from their shells and chop them finely. In
a large heavy saucepot, cook the salt pork over low heat until the fat is
rendered and becomes liquid. Using a slotted spoon, remove the "cracklings"
and reserve them. Add the onions to the fat and cook over med-high heat for
5 to 7 minutes, or until softened but not browned. Stir in the flour and
cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the reserved clam broth, the
4-1/2 c of clam broth and the fish stock, whisking to remove any lumps.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then add the potatoes, reduce the heat and
simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through. Stir
in the clams, salt pork and the light cream. Heat the chowder until it is
the temperature you prefer. Serve with oyster crackers. Source: Legal Sea
