Clam Chowder

[ischua]

This makes a lot of chowder and is great for potluck dinners its VERY rich
in large pot
4 to 6 pcs bacon chopped and browned drain
add 1 bag of potatoes O'Brien and juice from 50+oz can of clams
bring to boil
whisk 2 eggs with 1/3 cup mayo and 1 cup milk this mix will thicken chowder
add clams and 3 cups milk then the egg mixture while still cool
bring back to heat but don't boil stirring continuously or egg mixture
will get stringy, add fresh ground pepper to taste

This looks really good. How big a bag of potatoes?

I bought the 32oz bag (Ore-Ida brand), but actually used only about 2/3 of it. I prefer less potato in my chowda. I also added 2 more strips of bacon for a total of 8 to crumble in (LUV bacon!!). I served it with fresh grated cheddar cheese & homemade croutons for toppings. YUM!

BTW, thanks, Mike for the recipes you post. Keep 'em coming. I copyclip them all down for my rv recipe file.

I add 1/2 of a 28oz bag if you add more it feeds more. Also try a 50/50 corn and potatoes
you can never go wrong with more bacon
the other way I use this recipe is to use clam juice no clams and add cubed
(1/5x1in) fish like perch, trout or cod all mild white flesh can mix them too
