Ingredients
- 1 cup diced Yukon Gold potatoes (½-inch dice)
- 1 cup diced celery (½-inch dice)
- 1 cup diced yellow onion (½-inch dice)
- 1 cup diced green pepper (½-inch dice)
- 1 cup diced leeks (green parts and rooty ends removed - ½-inch dice)
- ¾ cup chopped clams (in their juices) , canned or frozen
- ¾ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoon kosher salt
- ¾ tablespoon dried thyme
- 6 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon tabasco
- ¾ cup sherry wine
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) butter , melted
- 2 cups water
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts half-and-half
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, celery, onion, green pepper, leeks, clams, salt and pepper, thyme, bay leaves, Tabasco, and sherry. Simmer together until the potatoes are thoroughly cooked.
- Combine the melted butter and flour in an ovenproof container and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes to eliminate the raw flour flavor and stabilize the chowder.
- Stir the roux (butter flour mixture) into the chowder and cook and stir until thick. The mixture will be slightly less thick than cookie dough. Remove chowder from heat. Stir in half-and-half until blended. Heat to serving temperature, stirring occasionally, and serve immediately with crusty sourdough bread and extra Tabasco.
