Soup Cooking Tips
A beloved recipe, here are the basic steps for how to make a chowder that can be altered to fit your mood and use up the ingredients you have on hand. Just follow the steps below and add your choice of ingredients.
-
Chop onions and bacon into small, bite-size pieces and then fry them up in a stock pot.
-
Next, add several types of spices to taste. Some commonly used spices are thyme, parsley, marjoram and of course, salt and pepper.
-
Stir in either chicken, fish or vegetable stock with some cream and a few bread crumbs or broken up crackers to thicken your mixture.
-
Simmer for the mixture for about 20 minutes and then add either pre-steamed fish or cooked clams or both.
-
Peel and dice boiled potatoes and add to the mixture.
-
Warm the chowder until you have reached your desired serving temperature and serve it up. If you decided to use clams, make sure you don't over cook the chowder as this will make the clams rubbery and too tough to eat.
-
Garnish your homemade chowder with parsley and cracked pepper. Some like to add a couple of drops of Tobasco sauce for a spicier flavor.
Add a wonderful thick, crusty bread on the side and serve with a small dinner salad to make a whole meal - now you know how to make chowder from a basic viewpoint. Feel free to add your own ingredients and make it special just from you.
