Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large stockpot over moderate heat. Saute the onions for 10 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, corn and potatoes and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour in the clam juice. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring the white wine to a boil in a large saucepan and reduce by one-third. Add the clams, cover and steam, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open up, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and discard any that do not open. Remove the cover and let the clams cool in the pot. When cool enough to handle, separate the meat from the shells, reserving the juice, and chop the clams. Set aside. Reserve the cooking liquid.
- Add the tomato, red pepper and jalapeno to the soup pot and cook over low heat an additional 10 minutes. Strain the reserved cooking juices and clam juice through a fine kitchen towel or coffee filter into the soup. Add the chopped clams and cook 10 more minutes. Stir in the cilantro, lime juice and pepper. Taste for salt, since the clams may be salty, and serve steaming hot.

Steps:
- Place clams and wine in a large saucepan. Cover; cook over medium heat until clams open, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer clams to a bowl (discard any that don't open). Strain liquid into a small bowl, leaving grit and sand behind; set aside.
- Rinse saucepan, and melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and celery; cook until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch chunks; add to pan along with corn kernels and scrapings, thyme, and bay leaf. Add reserved cooking liquid and cream, and stir to combine. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Arrange clams on top; cover, and continue cooking just until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; season with pepper. Spoon sauce into four shallow bowls, and serve fish on top. Arrange clams around fish, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
- Soak the clams in salt water before cooking. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the clams.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your chowder more flavor and texture. Some good vegetables to use include corn, potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
- Don't overcook the clams. Clams are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender.
- Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.
- Serve the chowder hot. Clam chowder is best served hot, with a side of crackers or bread.
Conclusion:
Clam chowder is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover clams, and it's also a perfect meal for a cold winter day. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a clam chowder recipe that everyone will love.
