Souper Bowl Recipes

With Super Bowl right around the corner and another winter storm forecasted to hit the northeastern part of the country, I felt it was only fitting to share a few soup recipes to help keep you warm.

In honor of the teams in Super Bowl on Sunday, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, we’ll share two chowder recipes and leave it up to you to decide the winner.

Clam Chowder

Clam chowder
  • 1 tablespoon of canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 (6.5-ounce) cans of minced clams, drained, juice reserved
  • 1 cup of fresh or frozen corn
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Add the butter and the oil in a large pot and heat over medium heat.
  2. When the butter is melted, add the onions and garlic and cook until the mixture is fragrant and onions become translucent.
  3. Add the 2 tablespoons of flour to the pot and cook until the flour begins to turn golden in color.
  4. Add the diced potatoes, thyme, milk and the juice from the canned clams. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 10 minutes.
  5. Scoop out 2 cups of the chowder into a blender and blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
