New England Clam Chowder
Creamy clam soup with bacon, potatoes, leek, spring onion, and celery, thickened with flour and finished with milk and cream.
This New England version starts with fresh clams and their cooking liquid, with a creamy base of vegetables, bacon, and potatoes. Serve hot, topped with chives.
Method
- 01
Open the clams
Put the clams in a hot pan with the white wine and water. Cover and cook over high heat until they open. Remove the clams, strain and reserve the cooking liquid, then remove the meat from the shells and set it aside.
- 02
Brown the bacon
Brown the bacon in a pot. Remove it and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- 03
Soften the vegetables
Chop the leek, spring onion, and celery. Add them to the pot with the bacon fat, season with the salt, and cook, stirring from time to time, until tender.
20 min - 04
Add the butter and flour
Add the butter and flour to the vegetables. Stir as the flour cooks so it combines without forming lumps.
- 05
Cook the potatoes
Pour the strained clam liquid into the pot and add the diced potatoes. Cook until tender.
20 min - 06
Add the milk, cream, and bacon
Stir in the milk and cream. When the soup begins to boil again, add the reserved bacon and stir.
- 07
Finish and serve
Add the reserved clams and ground white pepper. Ladle the soup into deep bowls and finish with chopped fresh chives.
