Monterey Clam Chowder
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place vegetables, bacon and margarine in a 5 quart sauce pot.
- Saute over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Be careful not to brown or scorch.
- When vegetables are tender, add flour to make a roux.
- Cook for two minutes, allowing flour to cook while stirring occasionally.
- Add clam juice and dairy products.
- Stir by using a wire whip.
- Add fresh garlic, black pepper, and chopped clams.
- Cook over low-medium heat stirring occasionally to prevent chowder from scorching.
- Cook for two hours or until chowder is brought to desired thickness. If a crockpot, or small steam kettle is available, it is recommended.
- Also, clam juice can be added to thin chowder down if it gets too thick.
- Cook for about 1 1/2 hours. The chowder needs to be stirred OFTEN, probably about every 5-10 minutes or so or it will stick to the bottom of the pot.
