Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups water
2 pounds littleneck clams, well scrubbed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 celery stalks, strings removed, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice
1 dried bay leaf
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 pound firm white fish, such as cod or red snapper, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place clams and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover, and bring the water to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the clams have opened, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove clams, discard shells, and pass the broth through a cheesecloth-lined sieve, reserving the broth and clams separately. Set both aside.
  • Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and celery, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the reserved clam broth and the potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Uncover, and add fish and shrimp. Cover, and simmer until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add half-and-half and the reserved clams; season with salt and pepper. Heat through, but do not return to a boil.

This chowder was a bit bland. I had to add extra salt and pepper to taste.

This chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This chowder is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. The creamy broth is so rich and flavorful, and the seafood is cooked perfectly. I love that I can use frozen seafood, which makes this a quick and easy meal.

The seafood was overcooked and the broth was too thin. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add extra salt and pepper, and even then it was still a bit underwhelming.

Easy and delicious! I used frozen seafood and it turned out great. I also added a cup of corn for some extra sweetness. Everyone loved it!
