Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cans of canned clams (6.5 ounces each), drained
- 2 cans of canned mussels (6.5 ounces each), drained (optional)
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Liquid: Drain the liquid from the canned clams and mussels, and add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
-
Cook Vegetables: In a saucepan, add the prepared liquid along with chopped onion, diced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, which should take about 10 minutes.
-
Add Clams and Mussels: Once the vegetables are tender, reduce the heat to low. Add the drained canned clams and mussels (if using) to the saucepan.
-
Creamy Base: Pour in the evaporated milk and add a tablespoon of butter to the mixture.
-
Warm Through: Heat the chowder until warmed through, but be careful not to boil it as this can cause the milk to curdle. Keep the heat on low to maintain a gentle simmer.
-
Check Seasoning: Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
-
Serve: Ladle the hot clam chowder into bowls and serve with oyster or common crackers on the side for a delightful crunch.
