Smooth, creamy, and OMG so good! This recipe comes from Brattens which used to be located in Salt Lake City, Utah, years ago. It's been gone for years, but this clam chowder lives on. What a legacy! The restaurant gave me the recipe back in the middle 60's.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato     Shellfish     Quick & Easy     Simmer

Number Of Ingredients 12

2- 6 ½ oz. Canned Clams Chopped
1 Cup Chopped Celery
1 Cup Chopped Onion
2 Cups Cube Peeled Potatoes (about 3/4 inch)
¾ Cup Butter
¾ Cup Flour
1 Quart Half and Half
1 ½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Sugar
½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Bacon Grease
1 Bay leaf

Steps:

  • Drain and save juice from clams. In stock pot melt grease, add onions and celery, simmer about 5 minutes. Move simmered veggies to separate bowl, and add clam juice. In the stock pot place cube potatoes and add enough water to completely cover. Cook potatoes until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Add the onions and celery with the clam juice to pot reduce heat to low add bay leaf. In a medium sauce pan melt butter and add flour whisking until the mixture looks like bubbling wet sand. Add Half and Half to the rue. Stir until thickened and add to pot. Add sugar, salt, pepper. Simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve and enjoy with your favorite bread or crackers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use canned clams, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams are delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Use a good quality clam juice. Clam juice is an important ingredient in clam chowder, so be sure to use a good quality brand. Look for a clam juice that is clear and has a strong clam flavor.
  • Add vegetables to your liking. You can add a variety of vegetables to your clam chowder, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. Just be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Season your chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
