Anyone like Clam Chowder?

[Trick Pony]

Since it finally got cold I had a hankering for clam chowder. I tried out this recipe from the Cliff House in Maine and damn was it good. I added a little extra arrowroot to thicken it more and and salt and pepper to taste and it was the best chowder I've ever tasted. I also put the corn in when I added the potatoes because it was a little underdone after the roasting. Hell, how can you go wrong when you start out with cooking bacon in butter.

I'll be trying this out tonight. I fucking love soups, chowders, etc. Not stew though. That shit's nasty.


EDIT - Question though, where did you find clam broth, or did you make your own?

I bought the Bar Harbor clam broth from Market Street. Also used baby clams instead of chopped clams since they are not as tough.

I do, but only eat it if I'm on the coast.

Chicken corn chowder + jalapenos and jalapeno juice > *.

This stuff is worth making. Better than any restaurant chowder I've eaten on either coast.

Yeah, I usually use baby clams instead of chopped on anything I cook with clams. Sounds like I need to find a Market Street. There aren't any near me, and in the past I've looked for clam broth at both the local grocery stores, with no luck.

There is a good amount of broth in the can with the clams too but I've found that it pays off to use the better broth in the bottle.

If you do end up at Market Street, the Monterey Sourdough that they bake there is the shit with some chowder.

Im going to make that tomorrow.

i ate at the Cliffhouse in San Fran 10 years ago. Great view. I love chowder too. Might have to dig into this.

I love clam chowder.. Unfortunately I typically just eat canned stuff. Primarily Campbells Chunky.

That's a disservice to chowder, clams, and your taste buds.
