1 tablespoon EVOO
1/3 pound lean bacon, chopped
4 large ears corn on the cob, kernels cut off and cobs scraped
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 to 4 small ribs celery with leafy tops, chopped

4 cups chicken stock
3 to 4 heirloom tomatoes, chopped
4 pounds littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 lager beer
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Hot sauce, for serving
3 English muffins, chopped into bite-size cubes
1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the chowder: In a soup pot or a Dutch oven, heat the EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook until the kernels are lightly browned at the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the seafood seasoning, thyme, garlic, celery, bay leaves, chiles and onions, and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat.
  • For the croutons: Arrange the English muffin cubes on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden. Melt the butter with the hot sauce. Place the croutons in a bowl and toss with the parsley, seafood seasoning and the butter mixture. Return to the rack set over the baking sheet and bake until deeply golden. Let cool.
  • To finish the chowder: Place the clams and beer in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, and season with sea salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then cook at a rapid simmer until the clams open, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard any unopened clams.
  • Divide the clams and the cooking liquid among 4 shallow bowls. Ladle the corn chowder over top and garnish with the croutons. Serve with hot sauce.
  • Cook's Notes: You can make the chowder base up to 5 days ahead. Cool and store in the refrigerator, then reheat over a medium flame. Buy the clams within 48 hours of serving and cook them just before you're ready to serve.
  • You can store the croutons in an airtight container or in a foil pouch until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Fresh and High-Quality Ingredients: Always opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Fresh corn is ideal, but frozen corn can also be used. Ensure your other ingredients, such as vegetables, broth, and spices, are of good quality to enhance the overall flavor of the chowder.
  • Sautéing Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables, such as onions, celery, and bell peppers, before adding them to the chowder enhances their flavor and adds depth to the dish. Don't skip this step for a more flavorful chowder.
  • Choosing the Right Corn: If using fresh corn, select sweet corn on the cob with plump, milky kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it before adding it to the chowder to prevent it from becoming watery.
  • Fresh Herbs and Spices: Use fresh herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, and chili powder, to add layers of flavor to the chowder. Fresh herbs provide a vibrant taste that dried herbs cannot match.
  • Bacon or Pancetta: Adding bacon or pancetta to the chowder adds a smoky, savory flavor that complements the sweetness of the corn. Don't skip this ingredient if you want a truly flavorful chowder.
  • Adjust the Heat Level: The spiciness of the chowder can be adjusted based on your preference. Use more or less chili powder, cayenne pepper, or jalapeños to achieve the desired level of heat.

Conclusion:
