Having been born and raised in Massachusetts, I just wouldn't be true to my roots if I didn't make New England Clam Chowder at least once a year!
And I need to start using some of this corn we picked and froze last year because before I know it, it'll be time to harvest more corn!
This recipe comes together easily using diced red potatoes, bacon, canned clams, onions, corn, Half and Half, and some butter and flour to thicken the broth. This was the perfect balance between those too-thin and too-thick chowders that I don't like.
If you were born in New England (and even if you weren't!) try this recipe for an authentic, rich and creamy chowder full of clams and potatoes with the smoky flavor of bacon - you won't regret it!
Karen, this looks beautiful! I love all kinds of chowder.
ReplyDeleteFor an x-New Englander girl you make one helluva chowdah! xoxo Looks splendid Karen!!--all links perfect too! wtg!
ReplyDeleteWell, I do enjoy chowder, but I'm just not into clams.I bet it would be fantastic as just corn chowder though or maybe with some chicken. It does look wicked good.
ReplyDeleteOh yum. You just can't beat a bowl of clam chowder - it looks creamy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Clam chowder is my husband's ultimate favorite soup! I haven't made it for him at home yet. I really need to soon!

ReplyDeleteI just saw your comment on Sam the Cycling cook's blog. You've never made lasagna? I am completely taken aback! I thought that was in everyone's repertoire! Especially yours since you're a cooking genius, I mean, look at this chowder!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an absolutely delicious chowder but for some reason, I couldn't open the recipe link - the message says I'm not authorized to view the page. 8-( Still, I can enjoy feasting on the picture.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so creamy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis is something that I haven't made, but I should because son number 2 loves it!
Clam chowder is one of my favorites! I've never had it with corn though, but it sounds like a great combo.
ReplyDeleteSee? This sounds PERFECT to me. This is exactly what I'm craving!
ReplyDeleteYou know I have lived here in New England my whole life but have never tried my hand at making clam chowder. This recipe looks fairly uncomplicated however so I want to give it a go while its still cooler outside. Perhaps when my sister is in town from the Southwest and can enjoy a childhood favorite :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I love clam chowder. This looks so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat chowder looks good!
