Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

30 littleneck clams (about 3 pounds), scrubbed
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 large russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh chives, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the clams several times under cold running water. Transfer to a large pot and add 3 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover and cook until the clams open, about 6 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; reserve the broth. Transfer the clams to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so they don't dry out.
  • Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Melt the butter in the same pot over medium heat. Add the celery, onion and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in the reserved clam broth, 1 1/2 cups water and the potato. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potato is tender and the soup thickens slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove the clams from their shells and roughly chop.
  • Reduce the heat under the soup to medium low. Whisk in the half-and-half and warm through (do not boil). Remove from the heat. Stir in the chopped clams; season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the reserved bacon and chives.

NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER



New England Clam Chowder image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 dozen little neck or cherry stone clams, scrubbed
4 thick slices bacon, cut into lardons
1 large onions, cut into 1/4 inch dice
Kosher salt
11/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch dice
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 bundle of thyme
2 bay leaves
1 to 2 shakes hot sauce, optional (recommended: Tabasco)
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the clams and 1 cup of water in a large pot. Cover and place over a high heat and cook the clams for 6 to 7 minutes. Uncover and remove the open clams.Cover the pot again and continue cooking the clams that haven't opened yet. Cook the clams for another 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and discard any clams that have not opened. Strain the liquid from the pot through a mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter and reserve.
  • Coarsely chop the clams and reserve.
  • Drizzle a few drops of olive oil into the bottom of the clam pot and toss in the bacon. Bring the pan to a medium heat. When the bacon has let off a lot of fat and become brown and crispy, toss in the onions and season lightly with salt. Cook the onions until they are very soft and aromatic but have no color, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onions and potato mixture and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in the reserved clam juice. When the clam juice has been whisked in and there are no lumps, whisk in the milk and heavy cream and toss in the bay leaves and thyme. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Toss in the reserved clams. Taste and re-season if needed and add hot sauce if using.

AUTHENTIC NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER



Authentic New England Clam Chowder image

Authentic recipe from a Fish House Restaurant in Vermont. I worked there as a college student in the 90s. Sadly they are no longer in operation, but the Clam Chowder lives on. This is a family favorite in my house, made even tastier with the addition of shrimp. Use bottled clam juice (readily found at WalMart and in most grocery stores) and chopped canned clams. I prefer chopped over minced canned clams for bigger clam pieces. This recipe can be made in advance, refrigerated or frozen, then reheated with milk & cream.
