CONTEST-WINNING NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER
This is the best New England clam chowder recipe, ever! In the Pacific Northwest, we dig our own razor clams and I grind them for the chowder. Since these aren't readily available, the canned clams are perfectly acceptable. -Sandy Larson, Port Angeles, Washington

THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER
This is a basic New England clam chowder, though with leeks used in place of the traditional onions, and a splash of wine to add a floral note. Also: thyme. Very continental! It is shockingly delicious and deserves its title as best. Bacon will add a smoky note to the stew. If you use it, it may be worth it to go the whole distance and get expensive double-smoked bacon instead of the standard supermarket fare. The salt pork, which is not smoked, will take the meal in the opposite direction, emphasizing the pure flavor of the clams.

Steps:
- Put the clams in a large, heavy Dutch oven, add about 4 cups water, then set over medium-high heat. Cover, and cook until clams have opened, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. (Clams that fail to open after 15 to 20 minutes should be discarded.) Strain clam broth through a sieve lined with cheesecloth or doubled-up paper towels, and set aside. Remove clams from shells, and set aside as well.
- Rinse out the pot, and return it to the stove. Add butter, and turn heat to medium-low. Add bacon or salt pork, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pork has started to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove pork from fat, and set aside.
- Add the leeks to the fat, and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in potatoes and wine, and continue cooking until wine has evaporated and the potatoes have just started to soften, approximately 5 minutes. Add enough clam broth to just cover the potatoes, approximately 3 cups, reserving the rest for another use. Add the thyme and the bay leaf.
- Partly cover the pot, and simmer gently until potatoes are tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the clams into bits about the size of the bacon dice.
- When potatoes are tender, add cream and stir in chopped clams and reserved bacon. Add black pepper to taste. Let come to a simmer, and remove from heat. (Do not let chowder come to a full boil.) Fish out the thyme and the bay leaf, and discard.
- The chowder should be allowed to sit for a while to cure. Reheat it to a bare simmer before serving, then garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with oyster crackers.

WALTHAM CLAM CHOWDAH
I was born in Boston, so seeing the snowstorms burying my city has me thinking of something to warm the soul.There's nothing better than clam chowder for that, which my ma's family would call "chowdah". My ma grew up in Waltham, and I used to visit from time to time when I was a kid. I like my chowder thick, so feel free to scale back the cornstarch if you prefer it thinner. This recipe is inspired by a similar recipe by Ina Garten. Using light butter and skim milk keeps the calories down without compromising on taste. Leave out the bacon if you want to keep it light!

Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of the butter in a large heavy-bottomed stockpot. Add the onions and leeks and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until translucent.
- Add the celery, potatoes, thyme, hot sauce, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 more minutes.
- Cook 4 strips of bacon until crispy, saving the grease. Pat bacon dry and chop finely, then add to the pot. If desired, also add the bacon grease and stir to thoroughly coat the vegetables.
- Add the clam juice, bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- In a small pot, melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter and whisk in the cornstarch. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. The cornstarch will turn into a paste, so you may have to switch to a spatula, scraping the paste off frequently as you stir. Whisk in a cup of the hot broth and then pour this mixture back into the cooked vegetables.
- Simmer for a few minutes until the broth is thickened.
- Add the milk and clams and heat gently for a few minutes. Cook until the potatoes are soft. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve hot.

CHEF JOHN'S MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER
Manhattan clam chowder is usually very watery, too tomato-y, and not nearly clammy enough so I reworked the recipe into something significantly more rich, satisfying, and delicious. My secrets? A ton of clams, not too much tomato, and a little bit of flour to thicken things up. Serve with oyster crackers and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, tarragon, or even dill, if desired.

Steps:
- Drain baby and chopped clams. Reserve liquid in the refrigerator until needed and set clams aside.
- Place bacon in a soup pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir until well-browned and almost crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until onions start to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Don't worry if some of the tomato paste sticks to the bottom of the pot; we want that to happen. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Dump in reserved clam juice plus bottled clam juice and chicken broth. Stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any caramelization.
- Add carrots, celery, clams, diced tomatoes, pepper, and cayenne; stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off some bacon fat if desired.
- Add diced potatoes and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed. Stir in fresh tarragon and parsley just before serving.

Steps:
- Boil 2 ears of corn on high with a teaspoon of sugar for 8 minutes. Remove from water, cut kernels off the cob, and set aside for later.
- Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of the butter in a large heavy-bottomed stockpot. Add the onions and leeks and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until translucent.
- Add the celery (minus the leaves), potatoes, thyme, Old Bay seasoning, salsa, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 more minutes. NOTE: I made pomegranate salsa previously, so that's what I used.
- Cook bacon until crispy, saving the grease. Pat bacon dry and chop finely, then add to the pot. Add the corn kernels and bacon grease to the pot and stir to thoroughly coat the vegetables. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add the seafood stock, bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. NOTE: I used a teaspoon of lobster boullion with a cup of water instead of the last cup of stock, but the ingredient list didn't recognize it.
- In a small pot, melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter and whisk in the cornstarch. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. The cornstarch will turn into a paste, so you may have to switch to a spatula, scraping the paste off frequently as you stir. Whisk in a cup of the hot broth and then pour this mixture back into the cooked vegetables.
- Simmer for a few minutes until the broth is thickened.
- Check the crab meat for shells and remove as necessary.
- Add the celery leaves, milk, and crab and heat gently for a few minutes. Cook until the potatoes are soft. Taste and salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
