Best Clam Chowder Ever!!!-
Created by Kristie Scott...but stolen and pieced from various recipes and tastings! Inspired by Frank Bunce! This is what he brings every year for our school Christmas sign-up and I've been trying to imitate it for years. I don't think I have it quite like his, but it is a good recipe!
Ingredients:
½ gallon of water
4-6 potatoes (diced)
2-3 packets dehydrated butter flavored mashed potatoes (this helps thicken the soup…another person I know actually take the potato water and some of the potatoes and blends them up. Then he adds this to the soup. I like what the butter flavored potatoes add to the soup)
salt to taste
pepper to taste
parsley flakes to taste
minced onion what you like!
6 strips bacon (more if you like)
celery about 3-4 ribs cut up
mushrooms from can 1-2 cans
3 cans of clams (reserve some of juice)
corn –I use the fresh corn that I freeze, but any can will do
onion –one whole onion
1-2 cups cream or to taste
1-2 cups buttermilk or to taste
1 cup canned milk
Boil potatoes and celery in salty water. Meanwhile in a frying pan fry bacon and onion together until crisp. Reserve this until very end as soup thickens. Let potatoes boil for about 20 minutes…drain off some of the juice. Then begin to other ingredients: mushrooms, corn, clams, clam juice, and minced onions and add the cream, buttermilk and canned milk. To thicken soup add the dehydrated potatoes and get to thick consistency that you like. Add more salt if desired, pepper, and parsley flakes. Then the final step is to add in the bacon and onion mixture. I like to put it on a paper towel first to get off oil. Let simmer for a 20 minutes stirring constantly. Yum!
Approximate Prep Time: 20-30 Approximate Cook Time: 1 hour
