Thick & Creamy New England Clam Chowder

[jstaylor62]

Apparently Dan has a wife who owes .... errrr .... loves him so he doesn't need a recipe ...

I, on the other hand, have certain duties that befall me for the privilege of getting to stay home ... Cooking is one of them ...

And lets leave the list of "certain duties" at cooking...

When GC fires up the grill without me asking, I know what's coming next ...

It works for me.

Man there is few soups better than a well made Clam Chowder, mmmmm

I'll take that challenge on... Here's my "Wisconsin Cheese Soup" recipe

1 lb Bacon (more or less )
1 medium onion
1 carrot
2 celery stalks
3/4 cup processed cheese product (Velveeta)
2 cups shredded, mild cheddar cheese
6 cups milk
6 cups water & 6 tbsp chicken bullion (equivalent to 6 cups chicken broth)

Chop up bacon, onion, carrot, celery, and Velveeta. Sautee bacon in large pot until cooked through. Add veggies, sautee until tender. Add water/broth, then milk. Heat until hot, but DO NOT BOIL. Add Velveeta chunks and stir until melted. Remove from heat. When soup is at serving temperature, add cheddar cheese slowly while stirring.

WARNING: If you add the cheddar cheese when the soup is too hot, it will curdle and you will have chunky soup. You want just enough heat to melt the cheese.​

Enjoy!

I took leftovers to work for my lunch today. When I took my bowl from the microwave in the breakroom, I saw heads up and noses in the air like a kennel full of bird dogs...

I have never tried to make Clam Chowder. I'll give it a try later in the week.

Do you crumble up any cornbread or crackers to eat with it..?

Thanks for the info. It was a huge hit at my house.
