New England Clam Chowder Stuck in the Midwest
I'm half "New Englander", on my dad's side, and as such I LOVE a good clam chowder, but alas I am stuck in the Midwest and there isn't a good, fresh clam in sight.
And CANNED clam chowder? Please don't get me started on that abomination! 😂
A good clam chowder should be thick, and creamy. And if there isn't at least a little clam in nearly every bite it ain't worth it.
Now, nothing beats a chowder with fresh clams, but if you're like me and stuck where truly fresh seafood is a rarity (or outrageously expensive) you'll appreciate the flavors of this chowder. Better yet, you'll truly appreciate what little effort it takes to prepare!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place potatoes and carrots in a medium saucepan. Add water to about 1/2 inch above veggies. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer until just fork tender. About 10 minutes.
- 2
When veggies are done drain in colander and set aside. Return pan to medium heat. Add butter, when melted add onion. Sautée onion until translucent. About 2 minutes. Add garlic. Sautée 1 minute more. Always stirring frequently.
- 3
Add flour. Cook 2 minutes, wisking constantly. Wisk in clam juice, evaporated milk, and milk. Bring to a simmer, wisking constantly to prevent clumping and sticking.
- 4
Simmer until broth resembles a thin gravy. Add celery seed and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently stir in clams, potatoes, and carrots.
- 5
Reduce heat to medium low and cook 5 minutes more. If you'd like the soup a little thinner add up to 1/2 cup more milk. Dish up and enjoy!

Quick Clam Chowder Quick Clam Chowder
I live in the New England area and there are many delicious chowder restaurants. I tried to make this chowder taste closest to the restaurant that makes me think, "This place is delicious." I can make this dish quickly whenever I want with canned clams, so it is very easy and economical.You can taste the strong flavor of wine, so if you do not like wine, use less of it. Usually there are no carrots in New England Clam Chowder, but I used them since I prefer the taste. The soup will be delicious if you add other vegetables you like such as corn. If you have leftovers, you can toss with pasta for a delicious pasta dish. Recipe by Chikichikichiki-ta

California Farm Winter Clam Chowder-Mild California Farm Winter Clam Chowder-Mild
Family Tradition, i posted spicy summer clam chowder and decided to make and post mild winter clam chowder as well, using canned baby clams and Russet potatoes, the potatoes make the chowder creamy. Do not use all purpose flour to thicken this chowder, it makes the chowder starchy.
