Coconut Clam Chowder image

We all love an amazing clam chowder. Thanks to coconut milk instead of the usual cream, this version of the New England classic gets a Caribbean touch.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
4 cups chicken broth (or clam juice if you want a more robust seafood flavor)
1 cup 1/4-inch-dice white potatoes
1 cup 1/4-inch dice white sweet potatoes
1 pound frozen clams (not in the shell), thawed in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, or two 10-ounce cans chopped clams, drained, or a combination of both
2 cups coconut milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a heavy-bottomed large saucepan. Add the flour and whisk until completely incorporated. Cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture turns from white to blond, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onions, celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme and bay leaf and cook 1 minute more.
  • Add the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the white potatoes and white sweet potatoes and let the liquid return to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low so the liquid simmers and cook until the potatoes begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the clams and coconut milk. If using frozen and canned clams, add the frozen first, then allow the soup to simmer again before adding the canned clams. Bring the soup back to a simmer and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and garnish with parsley.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more seasoning.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cayenne pepper.

I love coconut milk in curries, but I never thought to use it in clam chowder. This recipe proved me wrong! The coconut milk added a subtle sweetness and creaminess that really complemented the clams. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a delicious and unique take on clam chowder. The coconut milk added a creamy sweetness that balanced out the brininess of the clams. I served it with crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chowder turned out great. I used fresh clams and they added a wonderful briny flavor. I also added a bit of chopped bacon for extra smokiness. Highly recommend!
