Step by step instruction of cooking Cream soup with seafood "clam Chowder"

Шаг 1

Pretty finely cut carrot, onion, celery. I always like to feel these little pieces of surprise in the cream soup :)

Шаг 2

Potatoes cut into small cubes, about 1-1,5 see

Шаг 3

For the preparation of clam-chowder, in principle you can use any seafood. I have clams in their own juice, so I put them in a colander, juice, not drained - it still is useful.

Шаг 4

In a saucepan, which will prepare our soup, dissolve butter

Шаг 5

Add flour and quickly stir with butter. Gradually pour in the cream, continuing to actively stir our soup base, avoiding the formation of lumps. To achieve a smooth consistency. Here you can adjust the amount of flour and cream, depending on how thick or watery you want the soup. I love thick cream soups, so flour added a little more than required by recipe.

Шаг 6

Now, add the cooked vegetables along with the juice from the clams. Heat but do not boil. If the soup is watery - sprinkle the flour over the entire surface and again stir it well to avoid lumps.

Шаг 7

In the end, put in the soup our seafood, stir. Cook just 1-2 minutes, that they were not rubber. Do not boil, just warmed on a slow fire!

Шаг 8

When our cockles warmed, add salt and pepper to taste. Gently but quickly stir.

Шаг 9

I got so thick, incredibly tender and fragrant vkusnaya. Love at first spoon!

Шаг 10

Clam chowder is ready. I assure you, it is so good that the ears will not drag! (to me, anyway) :-) the Husband gladly ate two servings and asked for more :)
The only drawback to this soup is that you never know where to stop... you can quietly knead the entire pan, and then long to wonder what it was )))

Шаг 11

Serve clam Chowder two ways - in a bread bowl (I have a whole-wheat bread) or in a regular soup bowl with croutons.
Bon appetit!
