Como fazer Creamy Cheesy Clam Chowder
- In a large pot, steam clams with white wine over medium-high heat until they open (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove clams from pot and set aside to cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, remove clams from their shells and rinse thoroughly. Set aside.
- Strain the clam broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl; discard solids.
- Combine strained clam broth, the liquid from the can of baby clams, and enough clam juice or water to measure 4 cups total liquid. Set aside.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving bacon grease in the pot.
- Add butter to the pot and melt. Add onion, celery, and carrots; cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the reserved clam juice mixture, ensuring no lumps form.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and milk; simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Add white pepper, thyme, potatoes, and peas. Stir in the cooked clams and baby clams (including their liquid).
- Reduce heat to low; stir in cheese until melted and smooth. Do not boil.
- Season with salt and hot pepper sauce to taste.
- Garnish with reserved bacon and sliced scallions.
- Serve immediately with crusty French bread and a fresh green salad.
