Manhattan Seafood Chowder image

This is an excellent recipe given to me by a friend. I've made several adaptations, and love the way the house smells when this is cooking. Serve with a loaf of crusty French Bread, tossed green salad and supper's ready ! And I think Ann D.'s suggestion to add some diced red bell pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce is an excellent idea !!! I've made the changes below.

MANHATTAN SEAFOOD CHOWDER

I found a recipe in Midwest Living for Tomato-Tortellini Soup. I have since modified it into a seafood chowder. My grand-daughters are 3 and 4 and they can't get enough. This soup makes a filling meal along with a crusty dinner roll. This recipe is very simple. You can add or delete any of the vegetables or seafood depending on individual preference.

CHEF JOHN'S MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER



Chef John's Manhattan Clam Chowder image

Manhattan clam chowder is usually very watery, too tomato-y, and not nearly clammy enough so I reworked the recipe into something significantly more rich, satisfying, and delicious. My secrets? A ton of clams, not too much tomato, and a little bit of flour to thicken things up. Serve with oyster crackers and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, tarragon, or even dill, if desired.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (10 ounce) cans whole baby clams, undrained
2 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams, undrained
4 strips thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup diced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup bottled clam juice
2 cups chicken broth
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 ribs celery, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
½ cup diced Italian tomatoes
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 pinches cayenne pepper
3 cups peeled, diced Yukon Gold potatoes
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Drain baby and chopped clams. Reserve liquid in the refrigerator until needed and set clams aside.
  • Place bacon in a soup pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir until well-browned and almost crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until onions start to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Don't worry if some of the tomato paste sticks to the bottom of the pot; we want that to happen. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Dump in reserved clam juice plus bottled clam juice and chicken broth. Stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any caramelization.
  • Add carrots, celery, clams, diced tomatoes, pepper, and cayenne; stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off some bacon fat if desired.
  • Add diced potatoes and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed. Stir in fresh tarragon and parsley just before serving.

MANHATTAN SEAFOOD CHOWDER



Manhattan Seafood Chowder image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Onion     Potato     Tomato     Bacon     Halibut     Clam     Fennel     Turnip     White Wine     Winter     Parsley     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 16 cups, serving 6 generously as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 dozen small hard-shelled clams such as littlenecks (less than 2 inches in diameter)
cheesecloth for lining sieve
1/2 cup water
1/2 pound bacon (about 8 slices)
2 medium onions
4 garlic cloves
3 large Yukon Gold or other boiling potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 large turnips (about 1 pound total)
2 medium fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise; about 1 pound total)
a 28- to 32-ounce can whole tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)
1 1/2 pounds skinless halibut fillets
1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley or cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Scrub clams well and line a large sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth. In an 8-quart heavy kettle with a lid steam clams in water, covered, stirring occasionally, until they have just opened, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard any unopened clams and drain remainder in lined sieve set over a bowl. Reserve clam juice. Remove two thirds clams from shells (leave remainder in shells). Transfer all clams to another bowl and partially cover with foil. Clams may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Wipe kettle clean with paper towels and discard cheesecloth.
  • Cut bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Cut onions into 1/2-inch cubes and mince garlic. Peel potatoes and turnips and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Trim fennel stalks flush with bulbs, discarding stalks, and core bulbs. Halve bulbs lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In kettle cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • In fat remaining in kettle cook onion and garlic over moderate heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes, turnips, fennel, and reserved clam juice and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain tomatoes in sieve set over a bowl and reserve juice. Chop tomatoes and add to vegetables with juice, wine, tomato paste, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Chowder may be made up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Return chowder to simmer before proceeding.
  • Cut halibut into 2-inch cubes and remove any bones. Chop parsley or cilantro. Add halibut and clams to chowder, stirring gently to combine well, and cook until halibut is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in parsley or cilantro and serve chowder sprinkled with bacon.

SEAFOOD CHOWDER



Seafood Chowder image

Are you looking for a quick but delicious seafood soup? Can't wait to make that stock and take all that extra time? Well.. this is the soup for you. It's thick and creamy and comforting. I know many of you out there frown upon the use of condensed soups. But try this.. it tastes like a restaurant quality soup without all the fuss. Use whatever seafood you like. Just use at least 1 1/2 pounds of it. You can even use chopped cooked chicken if you don't like seafood. Want a curry flavor? Just add some curry powder while cooking the onions and celery. You can turn this into a creamy curried vegetable soup by omitting the seafood and using more onions and celery with the addition of carrots and whatever other vegetables are your favorites. Leave out the curry powder for a satisfying creamy vegetable soup. Just try it.. you'll like it.

1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
3 tablespoons flour (I use buttermilk baking mix) or 3 tablespoons baking mix (I use buttermilk baking mix)

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the chowder will taste. If you can, try to buy seafood that was caught within the last 24 hours.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can use a store-bought stock or make your own.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and texture to the chowder. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, and corn.
  • Season the chowder to taste: Season the chowder with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Manhattan seafood chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover seafood. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Manhattan seafood chowder that your family and friends will love.
