I have not tried this recipe yet.. it is too hot right now..I love the fact that he is using leeks and onions .. and it is not thickened with flour... Ingredients:
1/2 pound bacon, medium diced |
1 cup chopped leeks (about 1 pound) |
1 cup chopped yellow onions |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1 carrot, peeled and diced |
3 bay leaves |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/2 cup flour |
1 pound white potatoes, peeled and medium-diced |
4 cups clam juice |
2 cups heavy cream |
2 pounds little neck clams, shucked, chopped |
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a heavy stock pot, over medium-high heat, render the bacon, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Stir in the leeks, onions, celery, and carrots. Saute for about 2 minutes or until the vegetables start to wilt.
2. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaves and thyme. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Add the potatoes. Stir in the clam juice. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
