Yield 35 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
1 bunch celery, chopped
8 bay leaves
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 quarts chopped clams
4 pounds red potatoes, cut into medium dice
1 liter white wine
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup clam base
2 quarts heavy cream
2 quarts milk
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3 cups all-purpose flour
Table salt
Oyster crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and saute the onions, celery, bay leaves and black pepper until translucent. Add the clams and mix to combine.
  • Add the potatoes, wine, parsley, clam base and a quart of water to the pan and cook until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add the cream and milk and bring to a boil, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the roux: Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the flour and cook, whisking continuously to prevent burning, until the mixture is pale golden with a nutty aroma, about 7 minutes.
  • Whisk the roux into the soup and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste.
  • Serve the clam chowder with oyster crackers.
