Okay, I'm going to give you my 'favorite' clam chowder recipe, and then I'll give you a good 'thick clam chowder' recipe.
MY Clam Chowder
Put one can of minced or chopped clams into a 12 ounce bowl (with the liquid). Add one can of half and half (fat free if you can get it). Heat in the microwave for three minutes. Add a small pat of butter and dig in. YUM.
Old Fashioned New England Clam Chowder
1-2 cooked potatoes, peeled and 'diced'
1-2 can(s) of minced or chopped clams
COVER (just barely) with half and half.
Heat and 'simmer' ... add 1 tablespoon corn starch (mix it with cold milk first so it's all 'liquid' ... use as little milk as possible) ... let simmer and stir frequently until it's as thick as you want it.
NO BACON, NO GREEN FLOATIES. If you want you can add some onion, but I don't like onion in my chowder ... I don't even really like the potatoes, but they are a 'requirement' for a good old fashioned New England Clam Chowder.
ENJOY!!!!
