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

CAST IRON CLAM CHOWDER
We love clam chowder, especially in the cold winter months. I've modified a few different recipes to come up with this one. Whenever I buy nitrite-free bacon, I always save the grease in a glass jar in the refrigerator to use for recipes like these. Serve with sourdough bread!

AWESOME CLAM CHOWDER
This came about after a long search through many recipes. Is good eating the first day, but refrigerating overnight is what makes it awesome. When I served to for the group at my son's work, they ate it up. A couple of the guys said they didn't like clam chowder, but this was good.

Steps:
- Sauté celery, onions, and carrots (if using fresh corn add it now) and in oil in a large skillet until softened.
- Add potatoes, frozen corn, bottles of clam juice, plus enough drained liquid from canned clams to cover vegetables*, and cook over medium heat until tender. *If not enough liquid add only enough water until vegetables are covered.
- After about 10 - 15 minutes, when vegetables are almost tender, melt the butter in a large heavy soup pot over medium heat.
- Whisk flour into melted butter until smooth and fully cooked.
- Whisk in half & half and chicken stock, stir constantly until thick and smooth.
- Stir in vegetables, cooking liquid, and season with salt and pepper. Heat through, but do not boil.
- Stir in clams and shrimp - If they cook too much they get tough - do not allow it to boil. When clams are heated through, stir in vinegar.
- At this point I took it off the heat and let it cool down enough to put into the fridge covered as I was serving it the next day.
- A couple of hours before serving I just put it into the crock from one of my slow cookers, put the lid on, then put it into the microwave at 10 minutes at 50% power to get it started and then into the slow cooker on slow.
