Bodacious Clam Chowder
It has been suggested that I forward my bodacious clam chowder recipe,
developed over a period of five years. If you don't like clam chowder,
or don't like recipes large enough for the Russian army, or are
completely uninterested and don't like to cook....delete immediately.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound thick sliced bacon....cubed
1 LARGE container clam juice
3 cans Snow's chopped clams (or equivalent)
1 double chicken breast, cubed
10-12 large shrimp...cut in half inch portions
1 summer squash, quartered and cut in 1/2 portions
1 zucchini squash, quartered and cut in 1/2 inch portions
5 medium red potatoes, cubed
5 pieces of garlic, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 package fresh or frozen spinach, chopped
salt/pepper/emeril's essense or equivalent
24/32 oz of CLAMATO (V-8 if unavailable)
Saute bacon cubes until brown and remove.
Drain unneeded bacon fat
Saute garlic and onion and chicken and shrimp in bacon fat
Place all ingredients together in large saucepan on top of stove and
bring to rolling boil and then simmer for two or three hours.
GOOD STUFF, but enough for many, or repeated meals, or freeze some for
later slurping. I have been working on this recipe for quite some years
and am finally satisfied.....but forgot to tell you to also include two
or three fresh ears of corn, removed from cobs. All family members who
have tried it have recommended that I forward the instructions.
Consider that done. If you try it, I would appreciate hearing how it
came out.
