Title: Clam chowder recipe?
Post by: NOCK NOCK on December 03, 2024, 04:59:49 AM

The white version, potatoes, clams of coarse, some spices(last try was too much) , no corn.....just a good creamy chowder.
Amazing how different some can be.

I've had good luck with this recipe. https://www.food.com/recipe/ivars-clam-chowder-101699 I usually add quite a few more clams than it calls for. I've added bacon, smoked salmon and other seafood to this one and it always turns out good. Spices can be added accordingly  :tup:

After trying different ones over the years, KC's has turned into our go-to. It is very rich, but delicious.

I usually adapt it a bit. Half and half works in place of whole cream. You can play with the clam/potato ratios. You can omit the first part about cooking the clams if using razors. I just add chopped raw clams at the end. I have done it with and without the canned clam juice and don't see a big difference. I add water for more liquid when cooking the potatoes, then thicken with corn starch before adding the cream and clams. I think the secret of this recipe is not only the combo of ingredients, but the order and cooking instructions- like don't boil after adding the cream is critical.
