Time 55m

Yield 2 quarts (8 to 10 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup salted butter
3 cups diced onions
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart minced sea clams
1 1/2 quarts natural clam juice
1 1/2 quarts half-and-half, or more or less depending on desired taste
1 pound diced, peeled potatoes
Dash Spanish paprika

Steps:

  • Make roux by melting butter over medium-low heat in a 1 1/2 gallon heavy stockpot. Add onions and saute until translucent. Reduce heat to low, add flour, and stir to blend. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.
  • Make stock. In a separate pot, bring to a boil the clams and natural clam juice. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. In another large pot, cover potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft. Drain and set aside.
  • Add the hot stock to the cooled roux and whisk thoroughly until smooth. Slowly bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add cooked potatoes. Whisk in half-and-half, being careful not to smash potatoes. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve in warm soup bowls and sprinkle with a dash of paprika.

This chowder is delicious! I love the smoky flavor from the bacon and the sweetness from the corn. It's the perfect soup for a summer cookout.

I thought this chowder was just okay. It was a little too thick for my taste and the clams were a bit chewy.
