Hey guys! I have a family gathering coming up and I'd like to make some sort of chowder, because they all love it...Fish, Clam...whatever. My problem is, I can't find a consistent recipe!! I know what I want, but I can't seem to achieve it. You know, you go in restaurants and have that really yummy white creamy chowder.
Well...I can't seem to duplicate it!! I've tried to keep the calories down by using milk and flour instead of cream..but I'm thinking I need to use the cream because my family doesn't seem to like it!!
Here are the common ingredients I seem to have gathered from the DOZENS of recipes I have tried:
Bacon(or salt pork)
butter
thyme
bay leaf
white wine (many recipes called for this)
onions
celery
potatoes
clams (duh)
clam stock
cream (?)
I'm thinking you cannot replace cream with milk when you have picky eaters. Either that it's because I've been using canned clams
I know this isn't really diet related but I'd love to hear your recipes!!
